That is why images can be expressed beautifully and smoothlyBecause of the Alumina, quick ink absorbency is achievedThe shape of alumina pigment which is the pro_main material in the inkreceiving layers of Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT 101] is platelike. On the other hand, silica pigment which is often used for affordable photo paper is a spherical shape. Both alumina and silica use binders which play a gluing role to join pigments but a platelike alumina uses less binders, so it can absorb inks quicker than the silica inkreceiving layers.Because the layer is separated into two layers, quick solidliquid separation is achievedThe inkreceiving layers of Photo Paper Pro Platinum [PT 101] are separated into two layers and the amount of binder in each layer is optimized. It gives specific functions for each layer, the top layer is for color reproduction and the bottom layer is for absorption.
