ICC Imagetec is the Tasmanian agent for Crane Museo and Innova inkjet papers. Both of the fine paper makers provide a range of high quality papers in a variety of sizes and surfaces. These are primarily fine art printing papers and are used extensively world wide for exhibition and limited edition book production.
Museo (pronounced Moo-zay-o) is the brand name given to the family of digital fine art media originally developed by Crane & Co. and now owned by InteliCoat Technologies. Museo is manufactured to archival standards with all products being 100% cotton, internally buffered (to prevent long term environmental acidification), and containing no optical brighteners (which are known to fade over time).
Harman inkjet products are produced in England, in the facility where Ilford once manufactured its B&W paper products. Harman was formed in 2005 by 6 ex managers of Ilford imaging which bought the B&W arm of Ilford and still produes photo products under the Ilford banner.
HARMAN is a pioneering professional imaging specialist which in 2007 announced the launch of its own range of inkjet media under the HARMAN PHOTO brand. The range features a real photo baryta base giving true photographic weight and feel to the paper. The imaging technology behind the paper has been extensively researched and the formulation gives an outstanding image quality in terms of extensive colour gamut, excellent tones and archival permanence properties.
Designed for digital fine art printing, HARMAN PHOTO Professional Inkjet Paper is of exhibition and museum quality. Specially designed anti curl technology ensures the prints remain flat after printing.
Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Silk has a baryta (barium sulphate) coated layer underneath the ink receiving layer equivalent to the structure of a traditional fibre photographic paper base. The media offers enhanced definition, extended tonal range, and excellent archival properties, all of which are important to the demanding professional digital photographer and printer. Coated fibre papers have a unique look and feel, which has become a standard among art photographers worldwide over the course of more than a century.
