PRINT FINISHING

Dust Spotting

Use KODAK Liquid Retouching Colors to correct dust spots

on prints made with this paper. To apply dyes, follow this

procedure:

1. If necessary, clean the surface of the print by buffing it

with a tuft of cotton before you start retouching. Be

careful not to scratch the surface. Protect the print

from fingerprints and perspiration by wearing cotton

gloves (e.g., KODAK Cotton Gloves).

2. Transfer a small amount of the dye(s) you need to a

palette.

3. If necessary, add a touch of neutral dye to the puddle

of pure colored dye. The neutral dye will reduce the

brilliance of the pure colors by adding density. For

good control, keep the dilutions weak by adding a little

distilled water. This allows you to build up the dye

gradually on the print. It is easier to add dye gradually

than to remove it if you apply too much.

Note: If the liquid dyes on your palette dry out, you can add

water to dilute them again.

4. Pick up a small amount of dye with your brush, and

stroke the brush on newsprint or a paper towel to blot

it thoroughly. Too much moisture can cause

opalescence, or a cloudy look, on the print. Rotate the

tip on the newsprint to form a good point. Do not use

your tongue or lips to form a tip.

5. Retouch the print with light strokes of the brush; be

sure to keep the dye within the area of the spot. Avoid

spilling over into the surrounding area. Any

overlapping will result in a dark ring around the

spotted area.

6. If you apply too much color, blot it quickly with

newsprint or you will have too much density in the

spot. If too much dye penetrates the emulsion, you

can remove it with a 5-percent clear ammonia-water

solution. (You can make a 5-percent solution by

mixing 5 parts of 28-percent liquid ammonium

hydroxide with 23 parts water.) Apply the solution

with a tuft of cotton, rubbing it with a circular motion.

Be sure to apply it only to the area where you want to

remove the dye. Then swab the area with clean

water-dampened cotton. Repeat if necessary with a

fresh tuft of cotton. Be sure to remove all of the

ammonia. Allow the area to dry thoroughly before you

resume retouching. For best results, remove

unwanted dye quickly.

STORAGE AND DISPLAY OF PRINTS

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.

Despite the improvements in print longevity and fade

neutrality, 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.

• For prints 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.

Mounting/Laminating

Prints can be mounted using a contact type adhesive or

cement for cold mounting. In addition, prints can be

mounted or laminated using pressure sensitive materials

with a roller mounting or laminating system.

If the prints are to be displayed behind glass, maintain a

slight separation between the print and the glass.

Mounting or laminating prints at high temperatures is

not recommended.
