Sunset Fibre Rag 335g was designed for photographers and art reproduction companies looking for the high-end air-dried look and feel on a 100 percent cotton rag base for printing with the latest aqueous inkjet technology from Canon, Epson and HP. It has a subtle gloss finish and a very subtle textured surface with no optical brighteners, though it has a very bright neutral white point.

Sunset Production Matte Canvas was developed as an economical yet high-quality and consistent inkjet-printable canvas for larger production runs. Engineered for the latest inkjet printers, it is a bright-white, water-resistant 100% polyester matte canvas with the look and feel of a traditional 2-over-1 weave for all types of art and décor applications. It also works flawlessly with coatings like LexJet Sunset Gloss Coating and LexJet Sunset Satin Coating, either sprayed or rolled on.

LexJet Poly Select Blockout Fabric is a 14-mil bright-white polyester fabric with a blockout layer that provides 100 percent opacity. Compatible with aqueous and latex inks, the fabric lays flat, minimizing edge curl and making it easy to work with in production. The water-resistant coating provides exceptional imaging quality with a wide color gamut and higher ink saturation for rich, brilliant, eye-catching color.

You can vote from now through Feb. 15 for products in a variety of categories, from wide-format flatbed printers and wide-format media, to laminating equipment, inks, RIP software and scanners.

Best of Both Worlds: New Sunset Photo Paper Combines Fibre and Cotton Rag

Fine art printing on a fibre based cotton ragLexJet has just introduced Sunset Fibre Rag 335g as an answer to the call from photographers and fine art reproduction companies looking for the high-end air-dried look and feel on a 100 percent cotton rag base.

“This paper has a great Dmax, the color gamut is pretty amazing and the surface is nice,” says Jon Scott, owner of JS Graphics Inc., a fine art reproduction company based in Chicago. “It also comes in various sheet and roll sizes, which is great, because it gives us more flexibility in our printing. I also like working with LexJet because the pricing is fair, I like the products and I can get what I need tomorrow. I love that. We can’t afford to keep everything on the shelf, so we basically order on-demand when we need it.”

Sunset Fibre Rag is available in 8.5″ x 11″, 13″ x 19″ and 17″ x 22″ sheets and 17″ x 50′, 24″ x 50′, 36″ x 50′, 44″ x 50′ and 60″ x 50′ rolls. It has a subtle gloss finish with a very subtle textured surface with no optical brighteners, though it has a very bright neutral white point.

“Like all of our Sunset fine art and fine photo inkjet papers, this latest addition was developed to maximize the latest ink and printer technology from Canon, Epson and HP,” says LexJet product manager Alex Ried. “Sunset Fibre Rag builds on the Sunset Fibre line, applying the inkjet technology used in that line to a cotton rag base; that’s the secret sauce that makes this paper an excellent addition to anyone’s arsenal of inkjet printable materials.”

Sunset Fibre Rag 335g, like all LexJet and Sunset products, comes with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, as well as $9.99 flat-rate shipping from LexJet’s nationwide network of distribution centers for quick, economical and hassle-free product delivery.
