Capturing a moment in time for future use - that has become a part of humans DNA. Since first cave paint, trough all the History of art. From 1839`s Louis Daguerre first photography to modern days of digital imaging. It is emotional - it is the body of our past. Probably shortly after first hunting scene was drawn on the cave wall, the problem of conservation appear as an issue. Since first days of modern photography thousand of people are constantly working of how to expand printed images life span. Improving chemical stability of silver-halide based materials, formulating ultra durable inks, developing method of sub zero temperature storage and many more. Number of institutes and companies around the world are performing millions of test in order to predict printed images life span in various conditions. Dedicated testing methodology and equipment was made for that single purpose. As we always has been highly passionate about printed images conservation and protecting our visual history in general we are proud to present out newly developed Photography Archival Technology - LASSTER with thousand years of dark storage conservation rating under normal "album" storage and industry highest "bright room" fade reciting results.
Last technology has achieve industry higher fading resistance caused by light UV A and UV B spectrum. Suppressing silver-halide, pigment and dye inkjets by large margin. Rated for 200 years of unprotected indoor exposure under 500 lux 10h/day bright room conditions.
Learn MoreOur prints are virtually indestructible by any of the most common environments related deterioration factors, such high humidity (water damage), Ozone and other gases in the atmosphere, high level of acids and many more. No special storage condition is required.
As our technology is bade on direct infusion of the dyes in to the material it is not affected by inevitable problem of fine art pigment inkjet printers of Gloss differential in heavy ink covered areas. This also allows as to use ultra glossy surfaces with mirror like finish. Picture show Top - Pigment ink on glossy paper, Bottom LASSTER Ultra glossy
LASSTER combines successfully all advantages of exiting finer art printing technologies without their negatives sides. Bright and pop-up colors of dye inkjet, large color space of pigment inkjet all in one. Eliminate the problems of chemical light sensitive process as dull reds and low maximum density and many more.
We have manage to eliminating aging deterioration risk by removing all natural based materials such cellulose, cotton, silver etc. highly vulnerable under environment condition, by using flexible monolith polymer material virtually non-aging and non-tearable.
LASSTER is a trade mark of VILEA EOOD - BG107546960. Various patents pending.
