Pictoricois a color-image-receiving material having an ink-receiving layercomposed of specially-designed alumina fine particles. Thetransparency, glossiness and high ink-absorbing ability of thelayer give a brilliant and sharp color image which is nearphotographic quality. The layer can be formed on varioussubstrates, such as cloth, metal and glass, as well as paper andfilm. A variety of substrate leads to a variety of newapplications.

Major distributors and repackagers have a particular interest inthe marketing of Pictorico through their end-user basedsuper-stores. Our service department would be please to work withinterested parties to either introduce them to our existingdistributors or possibility develop new relationships withend-user distributors.


The DOT That's Right!

The secret of Pictorico's performance lies in its composition.Pictorico is coated with a mono-directional layer of uniform,ultra-fine ceramic particles. This transparent surface layer,with its vast number of regularly-shaped pores, enables Pictoricoto absorb ink dye far better than conventional films. The resultis a strong affinity between the ink dye and the printingsurface.



In other words, the quicker the ink dries, the more crisply eachdot of color is defined. This ensures that each color print isaccurantely matched to the original, making color bleed anddistortion a thing of the past.
