Aquarell 210

Elevate your artistic and photographic reproductions with Katana Aquarell 210, a inkjet coated fine-art photopaper engineered for professional artists and photographers.

This archival-quality medium with its textured surface ensures that your work achieves exceptional detail rendering, unparalleled haptic presence, true-to-life color fidelity and robust longevity, meeting the rigorous demands of high-end gallery and exhibition prints.

Features:

Luxurious Matte & Textured Surface: Its increased weight provides a distinct, luxurious feel, while the non-reflective, elegant matte finish with its subtle texture enhances visual depth and reduces glare, mimicking the haptic quality of traditional, heavy art substrates.

Neutral White Point: Its natural white tone ensures accurate color reproduction and a consistent base for professional color management workflows, crucial for color-critical work.

Archival Longevity: When paired with pigmented inks (such as HP Vivid®, Epson Ultrachrome Pro®, or Canon Lucia® Pro II inks), this substrate boasts an impressive 100+ year archival rating under proper display and storage conditions. This commitment to longevity protects your legacy and your clients' investments.

Immediate Post-Print Handling: The water-resistant, instant-dry coating allows for immediate stacking, framing, and handling, even with its increased thickness, streamlining your production workflow.

Superior Color Gamut & Definition: Engineered for exceptional ink absorption and density, it delivers an expansive color gamut, profoundly deep blacks, and razor-sharp details, ensuring your professional prints command attention.

Acid-Free & OBA-Free: Constructed from 100% cotton and rigorously acid-free (pH ~ 8) with no optical brightening agents (OBAs), guaranteeing long-term print stability and preventing yellowing or degradation over time.
