Mitsubishi Paper Mill has added EP Pearl Dual 200 to its portfolio of acid-free silver-halide-replacement digital media for both inkjet and liquid toner technology. The paper is coated with a special receiving layer to ensure strong toner adhesion and trouble-free runnability in electrophotographic digital presses.

The 200 gsm 8mil dual-sided paper can be loaded in digital press cassettes for high production applications. It can run simplex or duplex at high speeds without jamming which has been an issue with other silver halide replacement offerings due to static, the company says. The surface has a smooth pearl sheen and is ideal for high-end photobook, photo cards, and traditional portrait photography. EP Dual produces realistic skin tones, bright highlights and rich color densities for stunning reproductions of either full color or more traditional black and white imagery.

EP Pearl Dual 200 is available in 13×19 sheets. There are plans to introduce a longer format sheet in the future to accommodate premium panoramic layflat photobook applications, the company said.

“We are very pleased EP Pearl Dual 200 has been qualified on Konica Minolta’s AccurioPress platform including their new AccurioPress C14000 and C12000. This unique paper for EP Technology has already been used by Konica Minolta Business Solutions, U.S.A., Inc. as well as Konica Minolta Business Solutions Brazil for several key product demonstrations with very positive input from prospective customers looking for a solution to replace aging silver halide processing hardware with a more efficient environmentally friendly option,” said Chris Hung, vice president, sales and strategic planning, Mitsubishi Imaging (MPM), Inc.
