Advantages of DURABrite Ultra Pigment Ink-Outstanding Photos on Glossy Papers Many consumers are looking for a printer that can produce great everyday text documents and photos. With the new DURABrite Ultra pigment ink, customers get high quality glossy photos without compromising the text and graphic printing quality on plain paper that DURABrite Ink has been known for. DURABrite Ultra pigment ink offers these new advantages when printing photos on glossy papers: 1. Better glossiness: DURABrite Ultra pigment ink produces excellent output on Epson glossy photo papers: • Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy-This "best of breed" glossy photo paper has a heavier, professional weight with a smooth, high-gloss finish. • Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster-This paper with Luster E surface finish produces vivid, lifelike images that rival those of traditional silver halide prints, with high saturation and high D-Max for true photographic reproductions. It is compatible with the DURABrite Ultra pigment ink when using the Premium Photo Paper/Semigloss driver setting. • Premium Photo Paper Glossy- This high-gloss paper makes prints look and feel like a traditional photograph. • Premium Photo Paper Semi-gloss-This media has the look and feel of true photographic paper, and is ideal for printing displays or scenic color images. The semigloss finish delivers beautiful results. • Photo Paper Glossy-This glossy photo paper delivers a smooth, glossy finish for everyday photos. DURABrite Ultra pigment ink is compatible with many glossy photo papers, plus still supports matte and plain papers 2. Reduced gloss differential: Gloss differential occurs when the gloss of the paper is different from the gloss of the ink. By using a new resin formulation, gloss differential with the DURABrite Ultra pigment ink is reduced and the color gamut is improved. DURABrite Ultra Glossy Paper Benefits: 3.
