Kodak Helps Improve Productivity with
New KODAK PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper
Rolls
ORLANDO, Fla., February 20 - Responding
to the positive response by professional
photographers to Kodak's introduction of
professional cut sheet inkjet paper in mid-2004,
Eastman Kodak Company today announced KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper in long-roll
sizes for professional and advanced amateur
(AdAm) photographers. The new inkjet long-roll
format will further meet the demands of
professional photographers by delivering
increased printing efficiencies.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL inkjet media long-rolls
have the same high-quality, instant-dry
paper characteristics as the popular cut
sheet paper, and are available in lustre
(E-surface) and glossy (F-surface) finishes.
The long-roll paper is compatible with EPSON
Stylus Pro wide-format printers.
Featuring a true photographic base with
high-quality pulp and state-of-the-art paper
chemistry, the long-roll inkjet photo paper
delivers outstanding image quality, whiter
whites, accurate flesh-tone reproduction,
and a wide colour gamut - without the distracting
surface defects often observed with prints
from pigmented ink printers.
"We're applying Kodak's history and
expertise in photographic paper technology
and colour science in the long-roll marketplace,"
said Brad Thompson, Marketing Manager, Professional
Output Products, Digital and Film Imaging
Systems, Kodak Canada Inc. "This new
roll paper blends consistent colour reproduction
with the outstanding quality of KODAK prints,
further demonstrating the advancement of
our portfolio to meet the particular needs
of professionals and AdAms."
Available in 24-inch-wide, 16-inch-wide
and 10-inch-wide by 100-foot rolls, KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper gives photographers
increased productivity and efficiency in
their printing workflow. The rolls are an
effective in-studio printing solution, allowing
photographers the ability to offer rapid
delivery of enlargements to customers.
When used with the custom ICC colour profiles,
which have been developed for EPSON wide-format
printers, the paper delivers bright, saturated
colour and sharp detail. The lustre (E-surface)
and glossy (F-surface) finish options allow
photographers to produce prints in the studio,
allowing them to make quick reprints, proofs
and final additions to a customer's order.
Its 'look and feel' gives photographers
the capability to deliver a blend of KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper with lab
prints, accommodating varying customer requests.
KODAK PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper rolls
will be available worldwide beginning in
April 2005.
They will retail for CDN$146
(MSRP) for the 24-inch by 100-foot rolls,
CDN$104
(MSRP) for the 16-inch by 100-foot rolls
and CDN$74
(MSRP) for the 10-inch by 100-foot rolls.
