Join the jet set! Make the most of your hard work and dedication by printing your work out on SpectraJet paper ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE
The planning has taken days, you’ve spent a few hours walking to the location and now you’re waiting, waiting for the moment when the light is perfect. Seconds later, everything comes together and you grab the shot: it’s in the bag! Now what? Do you go home, transfer the shot to your computer, make a few tweaks and then leave it to gather digital dust on a hard drive? Or do you print it out, display it proudly on your wall and get veneration from family and friends? Naturally, we’d advise the latter option and if you’re going to follow that route you should consider filling your printer with SpectraJet Photo Satin 270gsm paper. A nominee in the Best Inkjet Media: Photographic Finish category of the Photography News Awards 2019, SpectraJet Photo Satin has all the credentials to show your work at its best. It features a microporous receiving coat that delivers excellent results, with bright whites and true- to-life colours on every print. The surface of the paper has a deep satin finish and is both scratch resistant and water repellent so it should stand the test of time – and a few accidents along the way! SpectraJet is quickly becoming a big name in inkjet printing. The brand was established in the
early 1990s and proved a hit with photographers in mainland Europe keen to get high-quality prints at a competitive price. More recently, the paper has made the trip across the Channel, with the brand now owned and distributed by Tetenal in the UK. It is already extremely popular in the commercial large format photo printing environment, where the SpectraJet brand has quickly established a reputation as a high- performing paper offering consistent colour and longevity. The papers are available in a variety of formats which perfectly suit the wide format, fine art and dry lab markets. In fact, there is every chance that you may have unknowingly seen a SpectraJet print if you have recently visited a photography exhibition or printed your images in some of the UK’s leading retail photo stores! This success in the commercial market has encouraged Tetenal to expand the range into sheet format, allowing professional and amateur photographers alike to find an attractive alternative to many of the more established, but more expensive, brands. The range covers all the finishes you’d expect, including Glossy, Silk, Pearl, Fine Art Etching and Smooth, as well as a superb selection of duo print papers. In addition, the range is constantly evolving with papers such
