Orlando, FL (February 2005) Photographic Research Organization, Inc. (PRO) introduced today the addition of two new color inkjet papers to the PROMASTER PhotoImage line of professional inkjet papers:

• PhotoImage Matte, a dual-sided coated matte inkjet paper, is a “print on demand” heavyweight sheet, perfect for printing greeting cards to business cards and home or business two-sided desktop print projects.

These two new papers enhance the existing PROMASTER line of professional inkjet papers designed especially for Epson, Hewlett Packard, Canon and other inkjet printers.

PROMASTER PhotoImage inkjet papers are offered in Heavyweight Photo Glossy, Heavyweight Photo Matte, Artisté 100% Cotton Fine Art and Dual Sided Matte surfaces and include these key features:

• Extra heavy weight sheet for true photographic feel and appearance
• Specially formulated to be water and light resistant and deliver true color reproduction with brilliant colors, excellent tonal range and superior brightness
• Dries instantly eliminating smearing, running and other handling problems
• High resolution finish to produce crisp, sharp images

Expanded packaged quantities now include 50 and 100 sheets.
