2 KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper • E-7021

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

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.

Note: Using a safelight will affect your results. If absolutely

necessary, you can use a safelight equipped with a KODAK

13 Safelight Filter (amber) with a 7

⁄

-watt bulb. Keep the

safelight at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the paper. Keep

safelight exposure as short as possible. Run tests to

determine whether safelight use gives acceptable results

for your application. For information on safelight testing,

see KODAK Publication No. K- 4, How Safe is Your

Safelight?

EXPOSURE

You can expose this paper in automatic printers, such as

KODAK CREATE-A-PRINT 35 mm Enlargement Centers,

KODAK Minilab Systems, KODAK 312 Color Printers,

KODAK I.LAB Digital High-Speed Printers, AGFA

High-Speed Printers, GRETAG High-Speed Printers,

GRETAG Minilabs and Microlabs, NORITSU Minilabs and

Microlabs, FUJI FRONTIER and other FUJI Minilabs,

KONICA Minilabs, PHOTO-ME Minilabs, and more.

Note: Printer and balance slope changes may be

necessary. Check production after final balance. You may

want to make a color preference adjustment.

If you are using AGFA MSP or MSC printers, visit

www.kodak.com/go/colorpapers or contact your Kodak

representative to obtain Schwarzschild coefficients. Agfa's

current recommendation is that the Schwarzchild

coefficients are the same for KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper

as for previous ROYAL Papers.

Because voltage changes affect the light output and

color quality, use a voltage regulator. Use a

tungsten-halogen lamp to expose the paper. Do not use a

fluorescent lamp. If the printer has no means of removing

infrared radiation, use a heat-absorbing glass.

Keep negatives and the optical system of your

equipment clean. Mask negatives to eliminate stray light.

To control the color balance, use dichroic filters, KODAK

Color Printing Filters (CP), or KODAK Color Compensating

Filters (CC) placed between the lamp and the negative.

You can also use CC filters between the lens and the paper

if they are clean and unscratched. Use as few CC filters

between the lens and the paper as possible—preferably

not more than three. If you use cyan filtration, use filters

with the suffix “-2,” such as CP10C-2.

Start with a filter pack of 40M + 40Y for the white-light

method. Adjust filtration as necessary.

Printer Control Negative Sets

Use the appropriate KODAK Printer Balancing Kit to

determine aims for KODAK Color Negative Films or to

cross over from another type of color paper to KODAK

ROYAL Digital Paper.

LATENT-IMAGE KEEPING

For best results, process the paper on the same day that

you expose it. (If latent-image shifts occur, minimize them

by keeping the time between exposure and processing as

consistent as possible.)

PROCESSING

Use KODAK EKTACOLOR Chemicals for Process RA-4 or

KODAK EKTACOLOR SM Chemicals for Process RA-2SM.

For FUJI FRONTIER Processors, use KODAK EKTACOLOR

Processing Cartridge 111 and KODAK Rinse Tablets. Use

KODAK Control Strips, Process RA-4 to monitor your

process.

For more information on processing chemicals, see

www.kodak.com/go/photochemicals.

Use a maximum drying temperature of 96°C (205°F).

VIEWING

Evaluate prints under light of the same color and

brightness that you will use to view the final prints. For an

average condition, use a light source with a color

temperature of 5000 ± 1000 K, a Color Rendering Index

(CRI) of 85 to 100 (an index of 90 or higher is desirable),

and an illuminance up to 500 lux. Fluorescent lamps such

as a cool white deluxe lamp (made by several

manufacturers) meet these conditions You can also use a

mixture of fluorescent and incandescent lamps. For each

pair of 40-watt cool white deluxe lamps, use a 75-watt

frosted tungsten bulb.
