TECHNICAL DATA / COLOR PAPER

KODAK PROFESSIONAL
ULTRA III 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:

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.

Handle paper carefully by the edges. The paper is

packaged with the emulsion side of all sheets facing in the
same direction. For complete light and moisture protection,
use the inner bag and the two-part cardboard box to store the
paper.
