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 i pulating,
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.
Discontinuance of
Use this resin-coated color reversal paper to make direct
color copies when you need high-contrast reproduction of
line-copy originals such as drawings, maps, documents,
blueprints, and layouts. EKTACHROME RADIANCE III
HC Copy Paper has higher contrast and D-max than
KODAK EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Copy Paper.
The “HC” stands for high contras t.
This paper is available in both rolls and sheets with F
(glossy) and N (semi-matt) surfaces. You can process it with
KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals.
FEATURES BENEFITS
• Improved color reproduction • More accurate colors

STORAGE AND HANDLING
Store unexposed paper at 13°C(55°F) or lower. High
temperatures or high humidity may produce unwanted
quality change s. To avoid moisture condensation on paper
that has been refrigerated, allow it to completely warm up to
room temperature before opening the package. For best
results, remove the paper 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.

Materials — Before and After Processing.

These times are based on a single package, positioned to
allow free air circulation. After you remove the paper you
need, re-wrap the package and reseal it with tape to restore
the moisture barrier.
Handle this paper very carefully by the edges to avoid
creases and fingerprints. This high-speed p aper is extremely
sensitive to light; store and transport it in lighttight boxes.
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Do not use a safelight; handle unprocessed paper in total
darkness. Be sure that your darkroom is lighttight. Eliminate
stray light from the repro camera lamps, timer s, digital
displays, etc.; even indicator lights and fluorescent tape can
fog the paper.
EXPOSURE
You can expose EKTACHR OME RADIANCE III HC Copy
Paper from opaque originals in a pro cess or repro camera b y
using subtractive, tricolor-additive, or semi-additive
methods. Although this paper is balanced for exposure with
a light source of 3200 K, you can use any of the following:
pulsed xenon, incandescent, flood, or halogen lamps. Do not
use fluorescent lamps or electronic flash.
Using a Process (Repro) Camera
For a 1:1 ratio in a Klimsch Super M3 Repro Camera
equipped with a halogen light source, use these
trial-exposure conditions:

Seconds) for an
Aperture Setting

Because exposure times and filtration will differ with the
equipment, the light source, the original, your process
control, etc., use the tables 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 paper during exposure.
Follow these procedures to control flare:
• Keep the lens surfaces, mirrors, filters, and copyboard
glass clean and free of scratches.
• Keep the interior of the camera clean.
• Use the additive or semi-additive 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.
Adjustment for Long or Short Exposures
Y ou will not notice a change in the speed or in the contrast of
RADIANCE III HC Copy Paper at exposure times from
0.5 second to 100 seconds with tungsten, haloge n, or
pulsed-xenon light sources. We do not recommend using
flash to expose this paper. The short flash exposure times
will affect the quality of the prints.
LATENT-IMAGE KEEPING
You should n ot s ee any shifts in the latent image with
different keeping times between exposure and processing.
Therefore, you do not need to change your printing
procedures to compensate for latent-image shifts under
normal temperature and handling conditions.

PROCESSING
Use KOD AK EKTACHROME R-3 or R -3 LU Chemicals to
process this paper in continuous or roller-transport
processors. For specific processing instructions, see
KODAK Pu bl i cat io n No. Z-129B, Using KODAK
EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals in Continuous and
Roller-Transport Processors, available on our website at
www.kodak.com/go/professional.
DRYING
Do not ferrotype this paper.
Remove excess water from the surface of the paper before
drying. Dry the prints using dust-free air. The temperature of
the air will depend on the design of the dryer, the air-flow
rate, and the total drying time. The ideal drying temperature
is between 50 and 70°C (122 and 158°F). If the temp erature
is too high, the paper may curl. If the temperature is too low,
the surface gloss of the paper is reduced, and the risk of the
paper sticking is increased.
VIEWING
Evaluate prints und er l ight of t he same col or an d bri g ht ness
that you will use to view the final prints. A good average
viewing condition is a light source with a color temperature
of 4000 ±1000 K, a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 85 to
100, and an illuminance of a least 538 lux (50 foo tcand les).
Fluorescent lamps such as the cool white delux e fluores cent
lamp (made by several manufacturers) meet these
conditions. You can also use a mixture of incandescent and
fluorescent lamps. For each pair of 40-watt cool white delux e
fluorescent lamps, use a 75-watt frosted tungsen bulb.
MOUNTING
From cpotter@node1 Thu Dec 12 17:18:27 1996
Date: Thu, 12 Dec 96 17:21:57 EST
You can mount p ri nts with KODAK Dry Mounting Tissue,
Type 2. The temperature across the heating platen of the
mounting press should be between 82 and 99°C (180 and

210°F). T emperatures above 110°C (230°F) or high pressure
may cause physical and color changes in prints. Preheat the
cover sheet that you use o ver the face of the print to remov e
moisture. Apply pressure for 30 seconds or longer for a thick
mount.
DISPLAYING
Photographic dyes, like all dyes, can chang e with time and
exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, excessive heat,
and high humidi ty. To h elp p re vent changes in photographic
dyes, follow these guidelines:
• Illuminate prints with tungsten light whenever possible.
• Display prints in the lowest lig ht level consistent with
your viewing needs.
• If a print is exposed to direct or indirect sunlight or
fluorescent light, use an ultraviolet-absorbing filter
between the light source and the print.
• Keep the temperature and humidity as low as possible.
