Fine Art & Photographic

Fine art and photographic printing needs wide colour gamut, accurate greys and media that will last. HP DesignJet Z-series printers use pigment ink for archival life; the substrate is usually 380g cotton canvas or a coated photo paper. Colour management matters more here than anywhere else.
