Inkjet canvas: The agents of change

Photography has travelled a long journey since its inception. From the simple black and white photographs to the digital avatar, the photography has undergone a complete metamorphosis. The latest buzzword in the field of photography is the ‘canvas prints’. These specialized prints developed with inkjet canvas stand out for their matte appearance and glossy finish.

Canvas was incorporated into the field of photography after the computers became popular with the developers. This led to the development of giclee prints which were developed by spraying a constant flow of colour on the canvas sheets. The word giclee in French means 'to spray' and this is what the inkjet canvas achieved by the use of their micronoozles.

The glossy appearance of the inkjet canvas gave a superior appearance to the normal poster enlargement and made it extremely popular. Continuous innovation was carried out in this field and today the inkjet canvas can bring out even the minutest details in a photograph making it extremely popular with photograph developers.

The growing demand for inkjet canvas created a requirement for sophisticated equipment and great minds started coming together in this field to offer cutting edge technology to the clients. This continuous effort led to the development of heavy duty inkjet printers which could offer superior quality renditions.

Epson has been a master in the field of inkjet printer’s technology. These printers have evolved as intelligent printers which know exactly what is required. The Epson ultrachrome ink technology represents the newest generation of Epson pigment ink. This ink incorporates a three level black and eight new colours to offer superior black and white as well as coloured prints.

Then there is the Epson large format printers which offer heavy duty services required for the graphic industries. These printouts have a glossy and shining appearance which has completely revolutionized the advertising industry. The effect is further accentuated by the use of proper inkjet paper.

Even the inkjet photo paper is specialized and has a very smooth finish. It is water and fade resistant and highly responsive to dye and pigment inks. The use of photo paper creates a perfect setting for inkjet media and produces photographs to cherish for the whole lifetime!
