KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA
Metallic Paper
p.o.p. that pops
KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic Paper is a
color negative paper with a unique metallic appearance. It is
coated on a patented multi-laminate base that provides
durable, tear-resistant prints.
This paper is ideal for a variety of portrait/social
applications—for example, glamour, wedding, prom, and
special-events photography and for many commercial
applications. It can be exposed both digitally and optically,
providing consistency and efficiency in the lab.
Like other KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Papers
and Materials, ENDURA Metallic Paper features
significantly improved image stability. Other improvements
include process robustness and a dramatic increase in D-max
in digital applications. The new paper is easily distinquished
from KODAK PROFESSIONAL Color Metallic Paper by
its unique watermark on the back. ENDURA Metallic Paper
has a single gray dot under "PAPER", while Color Metallic
Paper has two dots separating "PAPER", "PAPIER" and
"PAPEL".
ENDURA Metallic Paper is available in a variety of roll
and sheet sizes. It can be intermixed with other KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Papers in KODAK EKTACOLOR
Chemicals for Process RA-4.
