FAQ AMPHIBIAN FROG - Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use AMPHIBIAN FROG paper in any Ink Printer, or is it designated for specific types only?

AMPHIBIAN FROG Waterproof Photographic Paper is designated for all types of Inkjet Printers.

Is it necessary to use special inks for waterproof printing?

The waterproofing and abrasion fastness of AMPHIBIAN FROG paper are guaranteed thanks to the special paper structure. This means that the use of special inks is unnecessary.

How much time does it take before the print dries?

AMPHIBIAN FROG paper dries almost immediately after printing, thanks to its unique structure.

Fingerprints are created on regular paper in case of repeated viewing. How is it with AMPHIBIAN FROG paper?

AMPHIBIAN FROG paper is resistant to abrasion, which also means fingerprints, within several minutes after printing. If a person has sweaty hands, it is possible to wash off the sweat with clean water and wipe it with a towel. This is impossible with other paper types.

Is the AMPHIBIAN FROG paper surface really so strong that the print can't be rubbed off?

In spite of the fact that the AMPHIBIAN FROG paper surface is abrasion-proof, it certainly doesn't have diamond hardness. Mechanical damage exceeding the level of strength of the base layer will result in it tearing, but it's impossible to rub off the print using a sharp object, as in case of a regular photograph.

How is it with the print sharpness and color purity?

Thanks to the special structure of AMPHIBIAN FROG paper, the print is as sharp and color-pure as possible because feathering is eliminated.

Are prints on AMPHIBIAN FROG paper lightfast? Do they fade?

The lightfast nature of AMPHIBIAN FROG paper is several times higher when compared to regular paper thanks to the top protective layer, so that it fades much more slowly. However, the ink used affects the lightfast property considerably. The manufacturer guarantees a service life of up to 100 years for some inks if they aren't stored under the effects of direct sunlight.
