LightJet Printing Service
Our LightJet prints have been independently tested by Wilhelm-Research to have a minimum life expectancy of 60 years or more. LightJet prints have a wide color gamut, vivid color and exceptional sharpness.
LightJet is a trademark of Océ Display Graphics Systems. Put simply, LightJet technology uses photographic paper affixed to a drum and is imaged by Red, Green, and Blue Laser light which exposes the paper with the computer precision. LightJet is a true photographic or "continuous tone" process where inkjet and xerography employ a halftone screen.
About our LightJet Printer
We print using the LightJet 430 Wide Format Photo Laser Printer. LightJet® printers set the standard for true photographic quality. An internal drum holds photo media stationary while imaging with three lasers, achieving image quality superior to all wide format printers - photographic, inkjet and electrostatic.
Durability of the Media
Photographic materials resist fading, and their output is ideal for backlit images. Photo media carry manufacturers' guarantee of archival quality that is color fast for more than 50 years.
Applications
- Exceptional quality makes LightJet the number one choice for fine art photography, aerial photography and satellite imaging.
- Color consistency makes LightJet excellent for tradeshow graphics.
- Print media longevity makes LightJet suitable for museum graphics.
- Superior transparency printing makes LightJet perfect for advertising, point-of-purchase and entertainment graphics.
Sharpness and Detail
LightJet's imaging technology ensures a constant pixel size, shape and intensity over the entire image. Media is held stationary within a precision internal drum, while a spinning mirror directs laser light to expose reflective and backlit photographic material.
No visible dots
Using red, green and blue lasers, the LightJet achieves true continuous-tone. Inkjet and electrostatic printers, which simulate photo quality with half-tone dot patterns, would need to image at 4000 dpi to duplicate the same image crispness, highlights and shadow detail.
LightJet Color Fidelity
The LightJet has a 36-bit color space, capable of producing 68 billion colors, which ensures optimum control over the light source to reproduce color with perfect fidelity. In comparison, other photo printers are limited to 24 bits or 16.7 million colors.
