FUJICHROME Velvia 100 Professional [RVP100] • FUJIFILM PRODUCT INFORMATION BULLETIN

17.TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED IN Velvia 100

17-1 PSHC (Pure, Stable & High-performance dye-forming Coupler) Technology

The new-generation couplers used in Velvia 100 provide it with high color purity, stability and color formation efficiency, making possible color reproduction with un- precedented fidelity and excellent image stability. This vividness forms the basis for Velvia 100’s ability to reproduce colors with ultra-high saturation.

a)X-Coupler Technology:

This marks the recent use in color reversal film of Fujifilm’s new proprietary cyan coupler.

b)V-Coupler Technology:

New technologies have been incorporated with the V-coupler applied in Velvia 100F.

c)S-Coupler Technology:

In place of the yellow coupler used in FUJICHROME films providing these films with Fujifilm’s trademark color reproduction and stability, a new-generation yellow coupler has been incorporated to further boost these characteristics to even higher levels.

Compared with existing FUJICHROME films, the X, V and S couplers have resulted in a drastic reduc- tion in auxiliary absorptive components (which cause muddiness) and provide high color stability.

17-2 CEL (Color-Extension Layer) Technology

The Multi-layer Color Correction Layer that enabled faithful color hue reproduction in Velvia 100F has been adjusted and applied in Velvia 100 as a color-extension layer. This layer, together with new-generation couplers and adjusted gradation and spectral sensitivity, gives Velvia 100 the ability to record the colors of sunrises, sunsets, natural greenery and other scenes with a vi- brancy beyond that normally perceived by the human eye.

17-3 MSSC (Multi-Structured Sigma Crystal) Technology

This technology is incorporated in Velvia 100 to im- prove upon the highly acclaimed ultrafine grain emul- sion technology used in PROVIA 100F, resulting in a greater enhancement in grain quality. With this technol- ogy as a basis, Velvia 100 continues to provide ultra- high color saturation along with super-fine grain quality (RMS=8) and high sensitivity (ISO 100) that exceed the levels of the current ISO 50 Velvia.
