KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper

KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper is an exceptional

state-of-the-art, silver-halide paper for making direct

digital prints from digital files, as well as optical prints from

color negatives. This paper delivers bold, saturated colors,

state-of-the-art image stability, and is optimized to work

well in both digital and optical imaging systems. It replaces

KODAK ROYAL Generations, KODAK EKTACOLOR ROYAL

Plus, KODAK EKTACOLOR ROYAL IX AP, and KODAK

EKTACOLOR ROYAL X Papers.

ROYAL Digital Paper is easily identified by its thicker

support, which provides durability in handling, and by its

distinctive gold “KODAK ROYAL Paper” watermark.

This paper is available in rolls in F (glossy) and N (matt)

surfaces. It is designed for processing in KODAK

EKTACOLOR RA, KODAK EKTACOLOR PRIME, and

KODAK EKTACOLOR PRIME LORR Chemicals for Process

RA-4 or KODAK EKTACOLOR SM Chemicals for Process

RA-2SM.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

For optimum results, store unexposed paper at 13°C (55°F)

or lower in the original package. You can store unexposed

paper at 24°C (75°F) for up to 6 months and still achieve

high-quality results. High temperatures or high humidity

may produce unwanted changes.

To avoid moisture condensation on paper that has been

refrigerated, allow it to warm up to room temperature

before opening the package. For best results, remove the

package from cold storage the day before you use it, or

allow the paper to warm up for the appropriate time listed

in the following table.

Handle paper carefully by the edges to avoid creases

and fingerprints.

KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper March 2007 • E-7021 TECHNICAL DATA / COLOR PAPER KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper is an exceptional state-of-the-art, silver-halide paper for making direct digital prints from digital files, as well as optical prints from color negatives.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS Printer Control Negative Sets With the exception of the sizes designed for KODAK CREATE-A-PRINT 35 mm Enlargement Centers that minilab operators can load in room light, handle this paper in total darkness. Be sure that your darkroom is light tight. Eliminate any stray light from timers, LEDs, etc. KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper is sufficiently sensitive to photographic safelights that sensitometric shifts may occur before D-min (fog) changes are seen.

PRINT FINISHING STORAGE AND DISPLAY OF PRINTS Dust Spotting ROYAL Digital Paper has been formulated to provide improved dye stability and print longevity for prints displayed under typical home lighting conditions (i.e., 120 lux for 12 hours a day) and typical home dark storage conditions (i.e., 20 to 23°C [68 to 73.4°F] and 50% relative humidity). Product modifications have provided an improvement in the fade neutrality when compared with previous papers.
