The Lyson Fotonic inks provide great color combined with a high degree of fade resistance. These inks use unique, specially developed high strength dyes to increase the longevity of a print by four to five times compared to normal dye based ink sets. When used with recommended media, the display life of a Fotonic print is in the range of 25-30 years under average indoor display conditions.

The color gamut of Fotonic ink is matched to the color gamut provided by traditional photographic processes. By matching to this standard, Fotonic inks are able to provide a color gamut approximately 20% wider than most dye based ink sets can offer. In the gamut comparison below, the Fotonic dye inks color gamut is represent by the outer line and Epson OEM dye ink are represented by the inner line. Gamut was measured on target prints produced by an Epson Photo 1280 printer.

Fotonic are the ideal inks for users who want to achieve the same kind of color brilliance that they expect from traditional photo chemistry combined with a high degree of fade resistance for long term display. Another benefit when using Fotonic on the latest Epson printer models is that it works equally well on both glossy and matte media so there is no need to change out blacks when switching media.
