Options for continuous tone photographic prints
The material of choice for making digital photographic
prints is the latest Fuji
FA5 Crystal Archive RC color paper. Both matte and gloss RC
base are available. Considerable testing has convinced us that
there is no better color material. Long life, good color gamut,
sharpness, ease of processing, and cost all enter into this decision.
Testing by Henry Wilhelm indicates the new Fuji
FA5 Crystal Archive color papers should last more than twice as
long on display as Ilfochrome (60 vs.25 years, respectively).
Kodak and other RC-based materials are rated by Henry at about
15 –18 years (see Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. http://www.wilhelm-research.com
for more information about media testing). Our recommendation
is to use the Fuji Crystal Archive RC-based color materials.
Fujiflex™
Supergloss is a new, super-glossy polyester base - as archival
as Fuji Crystal Archive™ - with increased saturation and
contrast. Supergloss is an excellent choice for images that really
"pop" with rich color and lustrous gloss.
