Inkjet Photo paper: Sizes and Types:

When the inkjet photo paper was introduced in the market, it was only available in a single (8.5×11 inch) size. However, at present many different sizes are offered to suit the needs of the user. The various sizes include:

The 5×7 size is well suited for fitting pictures into mat boards and frames at home and the print can easily be taken with a regular home printer. For large sizes like 13×19, wide format printers are used.

Apart from sizes, the inkjet paper is also categorized in different types, few of which include; the light weight glossy photo inkjet paper that produces a vivid result with a shiny finish, unlike the matte photo paper which is used to produce superior text results. The Great White Imaging photo inkjet paper is a lightweight paper that helps in getting high-quality results as it remains sparkling white and gives a perfect neat and clean finish to photos. Due to its light weight it drives itself smoothly through the printer and readily absorbs assorted and deep colors. The salient feature of Swiss inkjet photo paper is that it promises quick drying capability. Another variant is the inkjet photo paper for 2b Christmas cards.

Leading Inkjet Photo Paper Brands:

A number of photo quality inkjet paper brands are available in the market such as Epson photo quality inkjet paper, HP photo paper, Canon photo paper etc.

Epson has positioned itself very competitively in the market by offering a large variety. Designed specifically for Epson printers, the photo paper is waterproof and is also chemically treated for archival abilities (that is promised to last up to seventy years).  Other than glossy, semi-gloss, luster, matte/fine art, Epson also offers scrapbook papers, iron-on-transfer papers, photo stickers and  photo quality self-adhesive sheets (for creating signs, labels etc and comes with a cutting grid for easy custom trimming). Epson was also the originator of lightweight glossy photo inkjet paper that eliminated the problem of thicker papers jamming inside printers.

HP offers a fine variety in its photo paper such as varied sizes and thickness, matte, glossy or semi-gloss finish. In its premium plus photo paper HP promises exceptional fade resistance that last for generations. The HP advanced photo paper is suitable for use in humid environments as it is heavy and dries fast. The HP everyday photo paper is thicker than plain paper which prevents the colors from showing through the back side. HP also offers a premium photo card range that provides a professional quality shine and is targeted for wedding announcements, greeting cards etc.

Similar to HP, Canon photo paper also comes in matte, glossy and semi-gloss varieties. Canon also offers a borderless photo paper to be used in printers with borderless printing option. This variant promises the look and feel of professional lab-processed prints right at home.

Binding Hard to Bind Papers With Fastback Tape Binding

By sizes paper, 15 December, 2009, No Comment

Thermal binding, or the process of binding paper using a combination of heat and an adhesive has always been a convenient binding style for users looking for a quick, secure bind. End-users like thermal binding for that reason; its one of the fastest binding styles, and it creates a bind that has permanent-like qualities, adding security to the document. The overall speed of producing a thermal-bound document is far superior than traditional binding styles found in comb, coil and wire style binding. There are however a few drawbacks to thermal binding systems. I will introduce this problem and its characteristics followed up by a solution to this problem that adds another positive element to thermal binding.

Thermal binding has been the perfect solution for customers looking for a quick, securely bound document. However, traditional thermal binding limits the variations of paper stock the user can use with their particular system. Thermal binding works fine on a variety of thicknesses of paper including various cover stocks but has problems with coated paper. For example, glossy stock has a hard time staying bound because the adhesive in a thermal binding strip has a hard time penetrating the paper fibers which in turn creates better adhesion. This fact alone has limited the applications of thermal binding.

A company called Powis Parker (the manufacturers of Fastback tape binding) recognized this as a flaw in thermal binding applications and came up with a binding strip available to alleviate this problem. The strip is called a “CP,” or “color pro” strip and is available for the Fastback 15xs thermal binding system. The strip is specifically designed to work in conjunction with your color copier and can bind up to 32# text. The dynamics of the adhesive are much of the same as a normal super strip except there is a larger amount of adhesive down the center of the strip specifically formulated for hard-to-bind paper stocks. This means glossy, thicker paper stock can now be bound in thermally. The process is the same as normal fastback binding except the bind time runs for about 45 seconds as opposed to 20 seconds with the normal strips. With this introduction of the CP strip Fastback has set themselves aside as offering the most versatile binding products in the market offering a simple solution for thermal binding and the problems with glossy stocks.

However, even the new CP strip has its limitations. Certain high gloss paper stocks and coated photo papers will not bind properly with the CP strip. Additionally, full bleed digitally printed sheets may not interact well with the high heat needed to melt the extra adhesive used in the CP strip. In fact, the ink and toner can sometimes melt or deteriorate during the longer 45 second binding cycle. For organizations facing these issues, there are two primary options available…
