[nanoPost] Nanocoatings for ink-jet products

Company Switzelrland

Our company has a long tradition in the field of high quality photographic films and today is very active in the field of photo quality ink-jet products. We distribute our own branded materials and have major activities in OEM-related business. We have a stong Research & Development team and are among the technological leaders wolrdwide in the field of roll-to-roll coating of nanoparticulate porous multilayers.

Our core technologies are:

   roll-to-roll coating of multilayers :
   substrates: paper, resin coated paper, plastic
   coating solutions: Silver Halide Emulsions, waterbased Polymer
   solutions, waterbased Nanoparticle suspensions
   products: Color Photopaper, Ink-Jet Photopaper
   2 types of Ink-Jet papers: swellabel polymer coatings, nanoporous metal
   oxide coatings

2.   Ink formulation for Ink-Jet printing applications:
   C, M, Y inks for photo quality applications
   pigmented inks
   speciality inks

3.   Organic synthesis of dyes and sensitizers and special components:
   C, M, Y, black for photo quality applications
   dyes and sensitizers for photographic films

4.   Core-shell synthesis of Ag-halide nano- & micro-particles

5.   SEMs of sensitizers on Ag-halide crystals

6.   Formulation of Ag-halide emulsions

Our additional research/technology competences are:
