SPECTRAJET the paper brand flexible enough to meet your precise needs

A PIONEER OF INKJET MEDIA THAT CONTINUES TO LEAD THE FIELD

Let us take you back to the early 1980’s. It was the start of what we refer to the Commercial Digital Age. By the end of the decade, vinyl was being usurped by CD’s, VHS had seen off its rival Betamax and a battle of the gaming consoles was brewing between Sega and Nintendo.

In the world of photo printing, we were on the cusp of an inkjet revolution.

At that point, dot matrix and laser printers ruled the roost in most offices and your holiday snaps were still being developed by photo labs using the wet process. But in the background, companies like Epson, HP and Canon were busy developing a new technology called inkjet printing.

Epson launched the SQ-2000, their first commercial inkjet printer in October 1994 and the course of photographic print was changed forever. Of course, new print technology is rendered useless without new media to print on.

AT THE HEART OF THE INKJET REVOLUTION

Another of Dupli’s key partners, Hahnemühle are widely recognised as ‘inventing’ Digital Fine Art papers for inkjet printing in 1997.

Interestingly enough, this was the same year that Dupli’s predecessor, Tetenal, filed a trademark registration for the name Spectrajet. Soon after, the first products proudly beariung the Spectrajet name were launched to an expectant market.

A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP AND BRANDING

Tetenal continued to develop the range as a cost effective alternative to many of the high-end paper brands on the market at the time. But this wasn’t an operation to create a low-end brand. The vision was to work with paper manufacturers around the world to create a brand which hit the sweet spot between quality and price.

The result was a range of papers which allowed photographers, print houses and retailers to print images that appealed to the customer with a high perceived print quality at a price which encouraged them to print more. 2019 saw the Spectrajet brand come under the leadership of Tetenal UK (now Dupli) and the next phase of brand development began to take shape.

AN ADAPTABLE AND EVER CHANGING PRODUCT RANGE

As Tetenal became Dupli, the emphasis on developing the Spectrajet brand and its product portfolio came into even stronger focus.

The brand now encompasses a broad range of sheet and roll paper including Dry Lab media and several superb canvas products. With the wide variety of products available, the Spectrajet brand can offer you superb quality at extremely affordable pricing.
