PICTRAN Kyokushi
Made from a durable Japanese fiber called washi, “Kyokushi” translates to “bureau papers” in English. This Japanese vellum is unbleached and is incredibly strong and durable. Washi is used for bills and bank notes in Japan due to the high quality and stability of the material; the pliancy and natural surface texture cannot be matched by other papers. The fiber does not have a grain and can be printed in either direction. The coating is applied to one side only. It has a low weight of 325g and a high tearing resistance, The unique glass powder coating on top of the paper is a transparent ink receiving layer instead of a white ink receiving layer in other ink jet papers. The white layers in other papers dilutes the ink colors while the PICTRAN does not distort colors. Kyokushi provides the maximum gamut color range for ink jet papers. There are no optical brighteners added to Kyokushi and therefore the paper color will not fade over time. The glass powder coating has a shine that resembles an oil painting. Currently available for sale in A3, A4, 14 x 11, 13 x 19, 17”, 24”, 44” rolls (15 meters). A4 samples are available. Custom cut sizes also available.

PICTRAN Baryta
Similar to Kyokushi, the Baryta is made from the traditional Japanese fiber called washi. The baryta coating is applied underneath the top glass powder coating. (as opposed to other ink jet papers which mix the baryta solution (BaSO4) with the top coating. The coating is applied to one side only. The separate Baryta layer receives ink and provides a stable layer for blacks and colors to show brilliantly. With an L value near 5, the dense blacks achievable with PICTRAN Baryta have yet to be matched by ink jet printing. There are no optical brighteners added to Baryta and therefore the paper color will not fade over time. Typically baryta is reserved for black & white printing in which the PICTRAN excels, but this paper can also be used with colors as the additional coating improves color ink jets as well. Currently available for sale in A3, A4, 14 x 11, 13 x 19, 17”, 24”, 44” rolls (15 meters). A4 samples are available. Custom cut sizes also available.

PICTRAN Metal
Made of boPET film, PICTRAN Metal has 3 layers in which the ink is illuminated both from the front and from behind. The back layer consists of a thin film of aluminum oxide particles that reflect light. The middle layer is a highly transparent PET plastic. The top layer is covered by the highly transparent and highly absorbent ink receiving layer. The three layers allow the ink colors to be reflected on the surface and by the mirrored bottom layer. This application of the PET film is unique for ink jet printing and the multiple layers gives images incredible depth and three dimensionality. The coating is applied to one side only. Currently available in A3, A4, 14 x 11 and 13 x 19. Samples are available in A4 for $5 for 2 sheets. Custom cut sizes also available.

PICTRAN Crystal
PICTRAN Crystal is made from white polyester film. This film provides a perfect high gloss effect and can be illuminated from the front, back or both. It can be used for displays or as a contact negative for prints or files in a dark room. Similar to Metal, the Crystal film have 3 layers to reflect light from the top ink receiving layer and mirror light from the bottom layer. Light passes through this film easily and colors appear to jump off the page. The coating is applied to one side only. Currently available for sale in A3, A4, 14 x 11 and 13 x 19. Samples are available in A4 for $5 for 2 sheets. Custom cut sizes also available.
