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.
* These layers become colorless and transparent after processing.
** The backing layer becomes colorless and transparent after processing, but it is not provided with 135 size film.
