A feast for the eyes that involves FUJIFILM Italia in promoting and encouraging the use of printed photography, also embellished by its silver halide photographic paper supports.

FUJICOLOR CRYSTAL ARCHIVE DIGITAL PEARL Original Photo Paper was chosen as the support, which is part of the wide range of FUJIFILM silver halide papers, designed for highly professional photography applications. Pearl Paper is the most glamorous and distinctive photo frame in the family; contains a very particular component, i.e. natural mica crystals covered with a thin layer of metal particles which, through a play of transparency and refraction, give the printed images distinct silver-white reflections. Designed to obtain saturated and brilliant colors reproduced in a wide chromatic range, Pearl paper gives a particular depth to images that appear almost three-dimensional.

The PEARL paper is particularly suitable for all professional applications, portrait, fashion, landscape and nature photography, with a super glossy and iridescent effect, luxurious and elegant.
FUJIFILM silver halide photographic papers maintain a fixity of the image and colors unaltered over time, FUJICOLOR CRYSTAL ARCHIVE DIGITAL PEARL maintains the originality of the print for a very long time making this product particularly suitable also for museum or art gallery exhibitions.
