More application possibilities with Océ SmartMatt

New pigment ink compatible matt photo paper

Venlo, November 2007—Océ SmartMatt paper IJM152 offers commercial printers a wider range of applications and new business opportunities. This new 180 g/m2 barrier coated paper is compatible with all ink systems, but achieves the best results with pigment inks. This not only makes it ideal for new-generation printers, it also offers high color density, excellent color reproduction, longer lasting images, water resistance and suitability for outdoor applications.

Coating structure ensures proper ink absorption and fast drying

Océ IJM152 SmartMatt paper has a special structure. The barrier coating ensures the right ink capacity and paper flatness after printing with no cockling. The open structure of the ink-absorbing top layer delivers fast drying. This results in high color density, superb color reproduction, sharp dots and lines. Excellent print quality can be achieved by downloading the IJM152 color profile from http://downloads.oce.com/.

Best results with pigment inks

Océ IJM152 SmartMatt paper is compatible with pigment inks meaning it can be used with the new-generation printers coming onto the market. Pigment inks produce longer lasting, water-resistant images making this Océ SmartMatt paper ideal for outdoor use. Added to this, it has high whiteness, a matt surface, a flat layer and good lamination properties. All of this gives commercial printers wider application possibilities and new business opportunities.
