The Canon FA-SM 2 is a high-quality
digital photo paper for use in professional
inkjet printers. It is an
A4 format with dimensions 21x29.7 cm, specifically developed for the reproduction of
photo prints. The paper is made of
100 % cotton and has a
media weight of 310 g/m², ensuring a stable, robust surface for high-quality prints. The
surface texture is soft, contributing to a pleasant tactile feel and even ink distribution. The
product colour is white, providing a neutral base for vibrant and detailed images. The pack contains
25 sheets and is intended for use in specific Canon printers.
Applications
This paper is primarily designed for use in professional
inkjet printing systems, particularly for the models
PIXMA PRO-10S,
imagePROGRAF PRO-1000, and
imagePROGRAF PRO-300. These printers are designed for use in fine art photography, art print production, and high-quality image reproduction. Using the FA-SM 2 in these devices enables optimal colour accuracy, high black density, and precise tone reproduction in dark areas. The
100 % cotton base ensures high durability and longevity of prints, which is important for archival and long-term stable images.
Functions and Features in Detail
The paper is specifically developed for use with
Canon LUCIA PRO inks, achieving optimal ink absorption and even colour distribution. The
soft surface allows for fine, detailed reproduction without the ink penetrating into the paper structure. The
high grammage of 310 g/m² ensures a stable paper structure, suitable for use in printers with high print quality. The
white colour provides a neutral base that reproduces print colours authentically without causing colour distortions.
Technology Explained Simply
Inkjet technology works by precisely applying ink particles onto the paper. The FA-SM 2 is optimised for this, as the
soft, cotton-based surface absorbs the ink evenly and enables high colour accuracy. The
310 g/m² grammage ensures the paper does not warp due to the ink and guarantees stable print quality. The
100 % cotton offers high chemical resistance, increasing the long-term stability of prints. The
white colour is neutral and ensures that print colours are not influenced by any base colour.
Compatibility and Accessories
The paper is specifically designed for the
Canon printer models PIXMA PRO-10S, imagePROGRAF PRO-1000, and imagePROGRAF PRO-300. These printers use the
LUCIA PRO ink technology, which is optimally matched with the FA-SM 2.
Installation and Mounting
The paper is delivered in the pack and must be loaded into the printer. Installation is done by placing the sheets into the printer's paper tray, with the specified printer models ensuring correct paper feeding and processing. There are no special mounting instructions or tools required for use.
