<strong>Nanotechnology</strong>—24<br />
Benefit today: Nanoparticle-enhanced<br />
inkjet photo paper give photo labs a<br />
run for their money<br />
The digital revolution of photography has created a need for a new generation of superabsorbent,<br />
high-quality inkjet paper to keep up with the new photo quality inkjet printers. Traditional<br />
silver-based inkjet paper suffers from slow drying-time and inferior image quality with<br />
respect to resolution. With the introduction of nanoparticles to its high-quality inkjet paper,<br />
Ilford has substantially improved ink absorption. Those problems have been improved sub<br />
stantially and even high-quality transparent coating becomes available. Ilford Switzerland has<br />
recognized this potential of nanotechnology very early and, today, is one of the leading brands<br />
selling nanoparticle-coated photographic inkjet paper of highest quality. / Text: Karl Knop<br />
