HP's new pigment inks are optimized for a variety of photo papers and art papers (including new HP premium photo papers and HP digital art media), which can provide excellent fade resistance1 and durability, bringing you reliable, professional Print effect. The new HP Photosmart Pro B9180 photo printer can print professional-quality photos on many photo papers and art media, with accurate and consistent colors, and can be stored for a long time, leaving a deep impression. The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 can print out long-lasting gallery-level photos, portraits and works of art with a maximum size of B + / A3 +, making it ideal for advanced amateur photographers and professional photographers. Many of the improvements provided by HP's new professional printers are derived from the new pigmented HP Vivera ink, which is specifically designed for the HP printing system. HP's proprietary Vivera pigment ink can achieve excellent display durability on a variety of media, and it can be stored on HP premium photo paper and other HP photo paper and art paper for more than 200 years. HP's new quick-drying advanced photo paper can further enhance the texture of photos and quickly print photorealistic photos with studio quality. According to Wilhelm Imaging Research's use of HP advanced photo paper, HP Photo and Proofing paper (HP Photo and Proofing paper), HP Hahnemuhle Smooth art paper and HP Hahnemuhle Watercolor paper, under the glass and thermal degradation test for light fade test. New HP Vivera pigment ink HP Photosmart Pro B9180 uses 8 separate HP Vivera pigment inks, including new high-concentration matte black ink and photo black ink, new neutral gray ink, and new cyan, light cyan, magenta, light magenta and Yellow ink. The new pigmented HP Vivera ink uses a unique formula that can display a wide range of colors on a large number of media, such as dark and dark black and true neutral gray, to help you achieve bright colors, photorealistic photos and artistic printing. HP has carefully designed and combined its exclusive pigment-based inks to provide excellent color rendering and fine grayscale levels, thus ensuring the accuracy and consistency of colors. Whether it's excellent fade resistance, durability, or support for a wide range of media types, HP's exclusive pigmented photo inks can bring more advantages to professional photographers and designers. [NextPage] HP Vivera pigment inks are formulated with HP ’s exclusive pigment dispersion technology, Electrosteric Encapsulation Technology (EET), to provide rich, realistic colors and excellent fade resistance for over 200 years. (See the table on page 4). Since fade resistance and color fidelity are affected by pigment particle size, HP has carefully optimized the chemical composition and particle size of the pigment to provide professional image quality and the best photo durability on the market. The combination of EET and HP's exclusive ink vehicle design forms a smooth film on the surface of the ink, and avoids the bumps or irregularities that often occur when printing with other pigment inks. This enables the HP Photosmart Pro to achieve excellent gloss uniformity between multiple colors and to render ultra-high gloss on glossy paper. The key to ensuring the reliability and consistency of the ink is to prevent the pigment particles from sticking together, thereby forming larger particles. EET can ensure effective particle separation and stable ink dispersion, thus ensuring reliable and consistent printing results. As shown, each pigment particle is compressed in a resin layer. The resin layer forms a protective barrier around the particles to prevent them from getting too close to neighboring particles or from sticking. The negative electrons inside the resin layer can further increase the repulsive force between the particles. HP's unique EET design can make the ink flow more smoothly and reduce the viscosity of the ink, so that the print head nozzle can work efficiently even after being exposed to the air for a relatively long time. As a result, HP Photosmart Pro provides fast, consistent, and reliable printing—even when printing on larger media, it does not consume too much ink. EET extends the life of ink and helps achieve consistent high-quality printing. The new Photo Black Ink provides a dark, glossy black on fast-drying paper, resulting in professional studio-quality photo quality. After careful design of ink and paper (including printing paper coating formula), HP can display dark black on fast-drying paper, which is difficult to achieve with pigment inks. There are various methods for comparing the darkness of the printed black ink. Observing actual print samples is usually the best method, but this article cannot provide full-size printing. Another common method is to use L * minimum to measure the darkness of black printouts (the lower the value, the higher the darkness of black). Neutral gray ink HP's third-generation gray ink printing technology delivers realistic neutral gray on a wide range of media, enabling you to print excellent black and white art photos and artwork (see legend below). The HP Photosmart Pro B9180 uses HP Vivera ink to render a realistic neutral gray. As with all HP inks, the new pigment-based inks are developed together with HP printhead designs to achieve highly accurate inkjet at higher printing speeds. The fluid properties of the ink are slightly different, and will be different from the printing effect of real HP ink. [NextPage] The new HP Vivera pigment ink can achieve excellent image quality, durability and durability on different types of media, including fast drying photo paper, such as the new HP premium photo paper, art paper, watercolor paper, canvas and embossing art paper. HP has carefully designed the ink, including the design and selection of pigment colorants, the amount of colorants used, and the ink vehicle, all of which enable it to present outstanding professional photo quality on a wide range of media. It is very challenging to design a pigment ink that excels on glossy media because, essentially, the pigment particles form a film on the surface of the paper. Any abnormality in the film will cause the surface gloss to be inconsistent.

Neutral white, no acid Test phase Water resistant [NextPage] HP Vivera pigment inks provide excellent display and image durability on a wide range of media. Image persistence mainly refers to how long a photo can be kept, which depends on the photo's resistance to related fading factors. For example, a photo displayed may experience some obvious changes, such as discoloration (light fading) due to exposure to light, air pollutants (fading air), or higher temperatures. Other fading factors include thermal fading or dark fading. This refers to the discoloration of the image due to lack of light and moisture resistance, that is, when the image is exposed to a high humidity environment, the colorant has migrated. HP Premium Photo Paper has water resistance, and other papers recommended by HP have water resistance. According to the comprehensive water resistance test conducted by HP Image Persistence Laboratory. Preliminary Wilhelm Imaging Research forecast; testing is in progress. Based on light (fading) degradation tests conducted under glass; Wilhelm Imaging Research predicts that storage durability (heat-resistant degradation) can exceed 200 years. Light fading: The basic method used to predict light fading resistance can accelerate light, and calculate the number of years the image is resistant to fade based on the accelerated light. There is currently no standard method to predict and accelerate discoloration caused by pollutants. To determine the resistance to fading of contaminants, HP tested the product under conditions of concentrated ozone. Air fading: Although all long-term photos should be placed under glass or other protective measures, HP is aware of the importance of photo printing technology, which can effectively prevent the impact of airborne pollutants on photos. On images that do not take any protective measures in direct contact with indoor air, HP Vivera pigment inks can provide decades of resistance to ozone fading on recommended paper. Please refer to the HP Photosmart Pro 9180 User Guide for a list of recommended papers. Water resistance: In addition to providing excellent image quality and fading resistance, the unique formulation of this new pigment ink also brings excellent durability and water resistance. When printing on the new quick-drying HP Advanced Photo Paper, you can process the output of the output tray in real time (see the following section, New HP Advanced Photo Paper). During the development of HP Vivera pigment inks, HP paid close attention to the various water resistance characteristics most important to customers. HP has developed 6 tests: water immersion test, long-term water drop volatility test, long-term water test, water spray test, water drop test and wet stain test. In order to meet HP ’s strict definition of water resistance, printed photos must pass all six tests. HP will consider printing that passes all tests except the first two tests to be water-resistant, but not water-resistant. Photos printed using HP Vivera pigment inks and HP premium photo paper have passed HP's definition of water resistance, and many other printed papers can meet water resistance requirements. Consistent and reliable printing results: HP Vivera pigment inks have been carefully designed to provide reliable and stable printing results, and can effectively prevent ink and print head nozzles from clogging inside the printer. HP Vivera pigment inks can be perfectly matched with other printing system components to provide customers with satisfactory image quality and printing results. These components include HP electronic ink dot control print head management system, which can handle all 8,448 print nozzles. Monitor to achieve high-quality optimized printing and consistent and reliable printing results throughout the product life cycle. See technical background information about HP Photosmart Pro B9180 for details. Easy to use: HP Vivera pigment inks are easy to use and replace. Large-capacity ink cartridges require less maintenance and reduce the number of replacements, thus saving a lot of time. Excellent 8-split ink cartridge design, you only need to replace the ink-depleted ink cartridge. The new HP Photosmart Pro has built-in high-density matte black ink and photo black ink, so you do n’t need to replace the ink cartridge when printing on different media. When changing the printing mode between glossy and rough media, Avoid the cross contamination and mixing of ink. The display life is expected to be derived from accelerated glass filtration and bare-bulb fluorescent light fade test. The test is conducted at 75 degrees Fahrenheit and 60% humidity, according to the standard of 12 hours per day, 450 lux The indoor display environment is calculated. The spectral power distribution of the fluorescent lamps used in these tests meets the requirements of ANSI Standard IT9.9 and ISO Standard 18909. Due to the difference in lighting conditions between home and office, the image can be stored for a longer time when displayed in a lower brightness environment. Similarly, if the lighting intensity is higher than 450 lux, the display life will be shortened. Imaging and printing technology background information: Internet-supported HP SureSupply ordering technology allows customers to easily reorder ink cartridges for their HP inkjet printers. HP SureSupply can track the ink volume and issue a warning through a pop-up window when the ink volume is low. This innovative technology allows customers to easily access consumable information and select different purchasing options with the click of a mouse. New HP Advanced Photo Paper HP's latest advanced photo paper (product coming soon) formula has made a series of improvements to the previous HP advanced photo paper. Improve the durability of the display-combined with the new HP Vivera pigment ink, the display life can reach more than 200 years. Improve gloss uniformity-higher gloss can bring extremely smooth, glossy photos. Enhanced photo texture—Hardness and thickness far exceed the previous HP premium photo paper, bringing true photo texture. HP Premium Photo Paper was originally launched in 2005. It is a glossy, quick-drying media that provides excellent image quality, durability, and water resistance. Its appearance and style are comparable to traditional photos. HP's proprietary quick-drying coating technology gives it excellent stain resistance. HP Advanced Photo Paper is the first HP media that uses HP's proprietary Auto Sense technology (Auto Sense), which enables HP Auto Sensing technology printers to print darkroom print-quality photos at the same printing speed as previous HP inkjet printers. 3 to 4 times. New, improved design: When used in conjunction with the new HP Vivera pigment inks, the new premium photo paper provides superior image quality and fade resistance. The new HP premium photo papers are available in glossy and soft glossy paper types, and are also available in different sizes up to B + / A3 + (see the section below, the excellent print quality of Inkjet printers). Like the previous generation of premium photo paper, the new HP premium photo paper provides excellent processing power and enables fast and efficient photo printing. When combined with a printer that supports HP Auto Sensing Technology, HP Auto Sensing Technology 6 supports faster photo printing. [NextPage] The enhanced performance characteristics make the new premium photo paper ideal for printing professional photos with studio quality. Hewlett-Packard has made a lot of improvements to paper coating technology, so that its latest quick-drying media has been improved. Coating technology: There are usually two types of photo paper coating technology, swellable (swellable) coating and nano-porous (nano-porous) coating. When used in combination with HP dye-based ink 7, swelling paper (such as HP Premium Plus Photo Paper) provides excellent image quality and fade resistance. The swelling paper has a longer drying time, but its fade resistance is stronger than most "quick-drying" nanoporous media. HP Advanced Photo Paper has a proprietary, nanoporous coating that can absorb ink through capillary pressure, thereby achieving rapid ink absorption and drying. The new photo paper is optimized for use with the new high-chroma HP pigment inks, and its ink absorption and ink capacity are better than previous papers. Since the porous coating is composed of water-insoluble ceramic pigments, it has excellent water resistance and scratch resistance. Not suitable for A3 and 13x19 inch paper. HP Advanced Photo Paper, or use with HP Photosmart Pro B9180 photo printer. It is not recommended to use HP Premium Plus photo paper with pigment ink. Background Letter on Imaging and Printing Technology Image layer: The two image layers are located directly under the protective layer, which together make the new advanced photo paper have enhanced ink absorption capacity. The pigments used in the image layer are based on HP's proprietary nanoparticle technology. The surface of each nanoparticle is customized to achieve the best compatibility with the latest HP inks. Hewlett-Packard's new advanced photo paper uses advanced modification technology, which can make the coating life reach more than 200 years. Polyethylene layer: Two polyethylene layers (one located directly above the core paper layer and one located directly below the core paper layer) can seal the photo base paper to prevent water penetration. The thicker polyethylene layer above the rough photo base paper allows HP Premium Photo Paper to bring an extremely smooth, glossy surface. The polyethylene layer at the bottom prevents the edges from curling and keeps the paper flat, thereby achieving reliable printing performance under different humidity conditions. Core paper layer: Compared with the base paper used for traditional silver halide photos, resin-coated photo base paper can make the new HP premium photo paper have the true appearance of traditional photo paper, and more importantly, it has an enhanced texture. Higher gloss: The thicker upper and lower polyethylene layers in the new HP premium photo paper can be matched with each other to make their gloss and uniformity higher than the previous premium photo paper and most other similar photo papers. The special combination of surfactants and other ingredients used in the coating formulation can bring high gloss, which is difficult to achieve with nanoporous media. HP has carefully developed the formulation of the main ingredients to achieve the optimal number of ink pigment particles to achieve a smooth, consistent appearance and uniform gloss. Paper with a higher thickness and hardness can prevent wrinkles more effectively, so the corners of the paper are not easily damaged or bent. Some competing media manufacturers use UV brighteners to make the photo paper appear more bright to the human eye. Unlike this, HP has carefully developed paper coating formulations to achieve higher brightness in advanced photo paper. UV brighteners can cause discoloration of paper, which can lead to changes in color or hue, and make printed photos fade prematurely. First-class water resistance: Water affects photos in many ways. The key lies in the ink used in conjunction with photo paper. When used in conjunction with the new HP Vivera pigment inks, HP Premium Photo Paper provides durable, waterproof photo printing (see above, new HP Vivera pigment inks). When used in conjunction with HP 6-color, 8-color, and 9-color dye-based photo printers, the new premium photo paper can make printed photos water-resistant. When used with other printing systems (such as HP 3-color small photo printers), the water resistance of the printed photos may be lower. HP Auto Sensing Technology: The new HP Advanced Photo Paper uses HP's proprietary auto sensing technology, which was released in 2005 with the previous generation of advanced photo paper and a printing system that supports HP Auto Sensing Technology. The HP inkjet printer with auto-sensing technology can "read" the special auto-sensing logo on the back of HP premium photo paper and automatically optimize the print settings. Auto-sensing technology simplifies printing, helps ensure consistent photo quality, and effectively prevents paper and ink waste. For more information about HP auto-sensing technology, please refer to the technical background information, "Enhanced Media Sensing with HP Auto-sensing Technology". Outstanding print quality of Inkjet printers: The new HP Premium Photo Paper is compatible with all inkjet printers, and when combined with different ink technologies (including pigments and HP's newly developed dye ink system), can bring vivid and vivid color photos. HP Advanced Photo Paper can bring excellent performance and photo printing characteristics at an economical price, while bringing extraordinary value to professional and home photo printing.

HP's existing dye-based Vivera color ink series maintains leadership in image quality and display durability. HP ’s new Vivera pigment inks have taken this lead one step further. It has greatly improved the durability of display and can achieve excellent water resistance on a wide range of print media (in some In the case, waterproofness can also be achieved). HP's new Vivera pigment ink will not replace the dye-based Vivera ink, but provides a more flexible additional option for professional designers.
Exclusive packaging technology
HP's unique standardized technology and ink design can achieve extremely stable pigment dispersion, which can effectively avoid the pigment precipitation problems that often occur when using poor quality pigment inks.
Imaging and printing technology background information
Dark black photo ink
Even if the competitor's printer uses gray ink and synthetic ink at the same time, the quality of neutral gray cannot be comparable to that of HP products.
Universal media support
Each layer of paper coating has unique functions and helps to form new photo paper enhancement features:
Protective layer: The protective layer is the outermost layer and is composed of ultra-smooth ceramic pigments. These pigments provide a durable protective barrier for the underlying layers, achieving excellent scratch resistance and fingerprint resistance. The new premium photo paper has a thicker protective layer-its thickness is 2.5 times that of the previous photo paper. The increased thickness creates a smoother surface, enabling the new photo paper to provide excellent gloss characteristics.
Imaging and printing technology background information: printing on photo paper containing UV brighteners is also prone to metamerism. HP Advanced Photo Paper is specifically optimized for Vivera inks and the new HP Photosmart Pro printers, which can improve the durability of photos without sacrificing the color calibration built into the printer. See technical background information about HP Photosmart Pro B9180 for details.
