The Katana Premium collection includes top-class photo papers. Produced in Japan and Germany, they meet the strictest requirements of leading photo printer manufacturers.

They are suitable for all types of images – color, black-and-white, high contrast, pastel. The high-quality coating and extremely wide color gamut make these media a favorite among professional photographers and photo studios.

The multi-layer microporous coating ensures instant ink absorption, UV protection, and water resistance of the printed image – you can immerse it in water for several minutes, and once removed, the image will remain intact, even if printed with DYE inks!

The special coating supports printing at resolutions over 5760 dpi, offers extremely short drying time, and resists smudging immediately after printing.

The resin coating (RC) isolates the cellulose base from the ink, allowing heavy ink coverage with no risk of cockling or warping.

After printing, the photo feels dry to the touch immediately. However, we recommend waiting 24 hours before framing, especially if the image will come into direct contact with glass. This is because the moisture from the ink, although absorbed by the coating, may not yet be fully evaporated. Delaying framing until the next day ensures no condensation or sticking to the glass.

In summary:
True photographic quality, vivid colors, excellent detail, extremely wide color gamut, and stable parameters with every batch.
