POST-PROCESS TREATMENTS

Mounting Prints

You can mount prints with dry mounting tissue. The temperature across the heating platen should be 82 to 93° C (180 to 200° F). Preheat the cover sheet that you use over the face of the print to remove moisture. Apply pressure for 30 seconds, or up to 3 minutes in the case of a thick mount.

Caution

Temperatures above 93° C (200° F) for long peroids of time can cause physical and color changes in prints. Excessive moisture can also cause color shifts. To minimize these changes, mount at the lowest temperature and over the shortest possible time.

Note: Images on KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic Paper may shift towards a pink balance after heated to excessive temperatures, but will return to normal color balance when completely cooled to room temperature.

You can also use contact-type adhesive or cement for cold-mounting.

For information on lacquering and other post-process treatments, see KODAK Publication No. E-176, Post-Processing Treatment of Color Prints—Effects on Image Stability, available through our website at www.kodak.com/go/professional.

DISPLAY

KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic 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 30° C [68 to 73.4° F] and 50% humidity).

Photographic dyes, like all dyes, can change with time and exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, excessive heat, and high humidity. To help prevent changes in photographic dyes, follow these guidelines:

•Illuminate prints with tungsten light whenever possible.

•Display prints in the lowest light level consistent with your viewing needs.

•If a print is exposed to direct or indirect sunlight or fluorescent light, use an ultraviolet-absorbing filter (such as glass) between the light source and the print.

•If prints are displayed behind glass, maintain a slight separation between the prints and the glass.

•Keep the temperature and humidity as low as possible.

•Use album materials described in KODAK Publication No. E-30, Storage and Care of KODAK Photographic Materials - Before and After Processing.
