Rihac Platinum Photo Pro Ink Information
Rihac Platinum Photo Pro Pigment Inks are the top of the tree in premium photographic inkjet inks. Photo Pro inks are a resin encapsulated pigment ink utilizing Cabots patented pigment dispersions.
|
Resin encapsulation is a process where the pigment crystal is coated in a resin polymer. This technology prevents coagulation and settlement issues as it prevents agglomeration, the attraction of electrically charged particles. Traditional pigment inks are prone to settlement caused in part by that electrical charge of the particles, drawing them together much like a magnet. insulating against the static charge better resists settlement. Resin coating also prevents the crystals from catching and bonding which is an issue with traditional pigment inks, allowing them to roll of each other creating a smooth flowing ink with even particle distribution.
A greater colour gamut (increased colour range) is achieved as the pigment particles are not clumped and thus are more evenly distributed when in suspension. Because of this, rihac Photo Pro inks are suitable for printing on resin coated glossy media which can produce prints of near equal vividness of dye inks. The resin also acts as a bonding agent for the papers allowing the inks to adhere to the surface making the prints far more scratch resistant than other inks. Light fastness is increased due to two primary factors. Firstly the dispersions already have an outstanding fade rating as per the DIN 54004 scale but also the resin protects the pigment particles minimizing UV light damage.
