Media Offerings Ideal for Digital Art
Océ's universal PhotoPerfect Plus photopapers feature a bright white base
for a wide color gamut and are fast-drying for immediate handling after
printing. The 7.6 mil Glossy (GIPPLS7) or Satin (SIPPLS7) finishes offer an
excellent ability to handle heavy ink loads with no soak-through or
cockling. These papers have a unique, hybrid coating that enable them to be
used with either thermal or piezo printing technologies and dye or pigmented
inks. Océ GIPPLS7 and SIPPLS7 also produce exceptional results with Epson
Ultra Chrome inks and are compatible with either hot or cold overlaminates.
Océ PrintPerfect matte finish photopaper (AMPP07) bridges the gap between
coated matte paper and photo paper, and accepts an ink load of up to 400
percent without causing ink strike-through or paper cockling. It features a
heavyweight, bright white base and offer exceptional receptivity for either
hot or cold overlaminates. This media is designed for use with most
