KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA III Paper

—NOTICE—

KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA ENDURA Paper replaces KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA III Paper. ULTRA ENDURA Paper also provides an alternative to KODAK PROFESSIONAL Digital III Color Paper

KODAK PROFESSIONAL ULTRA III Paper is a fast, resin-coated multilayer paper for optical printing of color negatives or internegatives. It provides the higher contrast needed for such commercial applications as point-of-purchase and trade-show materials and large display prints. It offers consistent, high-quality output for greater productivity and less waste. It is optimized for commercial applications and is designed for printing with automatic printers or enlargers.

Use KODAK EKTACOLOR RA Chemicals for Process RA-4 to process this paper.

This paper replaces KODAK EKTACOLOR ULTRA II Paper. It is available in sheets and rolls in F (glossy),

E (fine lustre), and N (smooth lustre) surfaces. ULTRA III Paper incorporates a number of technical

improvements. It provides higher color saturation and more accurate colors than EKTACOLOR ULTRA II Paper. Labs will benefit from its improved latent-image keeping, reduced heat sensitivity, and excellent print consistency due to improved reciprocity.

Compared to EKTACOLOR ULTRA II Paper, this paper offers these features:

	FEATURES		BENEFITS
•	Improved color	•	More accurate reds, greens,
	reproduction		and magentas
		•	Brighter blues and cyans
		•	More saturated yellows
•	Improved highlight	•	Truer reproduction of high-key
	reproduction		scenes
		•	Cleaner highlights
•	Improved shadow	•	More retention of detail in
	rendition		shadows
•	Excellent reciprocity	•	Easier matching of color
	characteristics		balance and saturation in prints
			regardless of the degree of
			enlargement

•Improved first-print yield from under- and overexposed negatives

•Easier dodging and burning

•Faster red printing speed • Higher productivity for enlargements

	FEATURES		BENEFITS
•	Excellent latent-image	•	Improved processing
	keeping from 1 minute to		consistency in the lab
	24 hours
•	Optimized spectral	•	Better alignment between
	sensitivity		paper, film dyes, video
			analyzer, and printer spectral
			response
		•	Improved printing compatibility
			and image quality with KODAK
			PROFESSIONAL Films
•	Elimination of print-out	•	Longer print life under dark
	and thermal yellowing		storage conditions

STORAGE AND HANDLING

Store unexposed paper at 13°C (55°F) or lower in the original sealed package. High temperatures or high humidity may produce unwanted quality 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 paper from cold storage the day before you use it, or allow the paper to warm up for the appropriate time from the following table.
