ARCHIVAL INKJET PAPER Traditionally, glossy inkjet paper isn't as long-lived as matte surfaces because it exposes inkjet dyes to ozone and other atmospheric pollutants. Ferrania's OptiJet PermaPix paper with PerDura technology beats these woes and delivers longer-lasting glossy prints. It also offers an instant-drying, smudge-proof and water-resistant surface. List Price: $12.99. Contact: Ferrania, (888) 846-2846, www.ferraniait.com.   |
