—NOTICE—

Discontinuance of

KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTACHROME

RADIANCE III Papers and Materials and

KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals

Alternative options for image capture and out put have
gradually eliminated the need for PROFESSIONAL
EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Papers and Materials as well
as chemicals for Process R-3. Therefore, dependent on
individual country an d m arket requirements, Kodak will
discontinue these products as inventor ies ar e exhausted

Technology has made the option of scanning, man ipulat ing,
and outputting images directly to traditional color paper very
popular, and photographers are increasingly using color
negative film and digital cameras for image capture. Producing
positive prints, even from transparencies, for image display no
longer requires the use of RADI ANC E Papers and Materials.

Thank you for using KODAK PROFESSIONAL Products.

KODAK EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Clear

Display Material is a versatile color reversal material

designed for us on illuminators with buil t-i n dif fusers. You
can use it for making color displays in process or repro
cameras. The originals can be opaque copy, transparencies,
or three-dimensional objects. You can also use it to make
displays from slides/transparencies with an enlarger without
first having to make internegatives.

It has a clear 7-mil ESTAR Thick base It is available in

large format rolls.

Use KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals to process

this material.

STORAGE AND HANDLING

Store unexposed material 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 mat erial that has been
refrigerated, allow it to completely warm up to room
temperature before opening the package. For best results,
remove the material from cold storage the day before
printing, or use the warm-up times in the following table.
For more storage information, see KODAK Publication
No. E-30, Storage and Care of KODAK Photographic

Materials — Before and After Processing.

These times are based on a single package, positioned to
allow free air circulation. After you remove the materi al you
need, re-wrap the package and reseal it with tape to restore
the moisture barrier.

Handle these materials very carefully by the edges to
avoid creases and fingerprints. The materials are extremely
sensitive to light; store and transp ort them in lighttight
boxes.

DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS

Do not use a safelight; handle unprocessed material in total
darkness. Be sure that your darkroom is lighttight. Eliminate

stray light from the enlarger head, repro camera lamps,
timers, digital displays, etc.; even indicator lights and
fluorescent tape can fog the material.

EXPOSURE

Expose the material from originals such as continuous-tone
or printed matter, maps, drawings, layouts, or documents in
a process or repro camera by using subtractive,
tricolor-additive, or semi-additive methods. Although this
material is balanced for exp osure with a light sour ce of 3000
to 3200 K, you can use any of the following light sources:
pulsed xenon, incandescent, halogen, or flood lamps.

Using a Process (Repro) Camera

For a 1:1 ratio in a Klimsch Super M3 Repro Cam e r a
equipped with a halogen light source, use these
trial-exposure cond itions:

Because exposure times and filtration will differ with the
equipment, the light source, the original, your process
control, etc., use the tables only as a guide.

To maintain high image quality, control flare as much as
possible. Flare consists of stray ambient light and scattered
image light that might reach the material during exposure.
Follow these procedures to control flare:

• Keep the lenses, mirrors, filters, and copyboard glass
clean and free of scratches.

• Keep the interior of the camera clean.

• Use the additive or semi-additi ve printing method
whenever possible to minimize the number of filters in
the optical path.

• Adjust the copyboard lights and room lights so that
neither the lights nor reflections from the copyboard
glass fall on the camera lens.

• Mask the areas surrounding the original with black
material.
