Epson's New Semimatte Contract Proofing Paper

August 22nd, 2006: Epson has released its new Epson Proofing Paper White Semimatte aimed at the contract proofing market for its 800 series large format printers and UltraChrome K3 inks.

"Epson printers print a large portion of the contract proofs in Australia, and this new paper reinforces Epson's strength in this segment," Epson's Business Manager Pro Graphics, Craig Heckenberg said.

When used with Epson's outstanding UltraChrome K3 Ink, Epson Proofing Paper White Semimatte has UltraChrome's renowned short term colour stability making it ideal for fast turn around contract proofing. The paper has a special Epson Proof watermark on the back for easy identification as a genuine Epson proof.

"In keeping with Epson's commitment to quality, Epson Proofing Paper White Semimatte has been engineered to absorb a high amount of ink while accurately maintaining dot shape and size. This high ink absorption combined with dot shape and size will produce proofs of amazing image quality and colour," Craig said.

Epson stringently tests all its papers to perform faultlessly with its printers to prevent costly paper feeding problems which can cause print head damage and banding.

Epson Proofing Paper White Semimatte is currently 3DAP approved with the GMG RIP and further approval is being sought for other third-party RIP products over the coming months.

Epson Proofing Paper White Semimatte not only delivers superior image quality, durability and stability but is very affordable.
