Claria Photographic Ink - Ultra High Definition

A major breakthrough in photo quality and fade resistance.

Epson Claria photographic ink represents a major breakthrough in dye based inkjet printing technology. Not only does it support a wider colour gamut than traditional photo-printing technologies, it is far more resistant to fading than previous dye-based inks. As a result, it offers print quality that rivals that of traditional photo printing.

Significantly improved print life

Claria photographic ink has been strengthened at a molecular level, making it extremely resistant to the fading that is caused by light and oxidised gasses such as ozone. Compared to photo prints made with previous dye-based inks, Claria ink photo prints retain their beauty longer under a wide range of conditions. Their potential album storage life is estimated at up to 200 years.

Fade resistance at a molecular level

  • Previous dye-based ink molecules contained fewer atoms, and colours would fade because light and ozone or other oxidized gasses could destroy the bonds between the atoms.
  • The dye molecules in Claria ink are made up of more atoms. This ensures that the bonds between the individual atoms are stronger and makes the molecules more resistant to damage.
  • Claria ink dye molecules are further protected by atomic shields and aggregated into strong, dense clusters. The result is rich, vibrant, fade-resistant colour and significantly extended print life.
 

A wider colour gamut
  • Claria photographic ink has an expanded colour gamut with much richer blues and greens than the standard sRGB colour space, and can render them much more vividly than traditional photo printing methods. It also offers more deeply saturated yellows than previous Epson dye-based inks.

Richer Blues and greens than sRGB
  • Claria photographic ink has a wider gamut than sRGB, with a particularly rich palette of blue and green colour tones.
