Print & Ink Options
At Precision Backdrops, we utilize and offer two different printing and ink management software, allowing for different saturation levels in the final backdrop. Below are the options we offer along with descriptions and comparisons of photographs of actually backings.
Opal
Our Opal setting uses less ink and creates a muted color space. The backdrop will be about 20% less saturated then it would be with Sapphire. Given the smaller amount of ink used, the sheen will be less and between matte and eggshell. DMax is noticeably lower, leading to subdued blacks and brighter backlighting.
Sapphire
Our Sapphire setting uses the most ink, allowing for a backdrop that is as saturated as the digital file. This is our default setting and what we use if no guidance is given. Given the amount of ink used, the sheen is between eggshell and satin. Likewise, DMax will be greater with deeper blacks and shadows.
