Using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL
READYLOAD Single-Sheet Packet

TECHNICAL DATA /

KODAK PROFESSIONAL READYLOAD Single-Sheet
Packets and the KODAK PROFESSIONAL READYLOAD
Packet Film Holder provide a very convenient way to
expose 4 x 5-inch sheet film.You can use them together as
a handy alternative to standard 4 x 5-inch sheet-film
holders.

You’ll have less equipment to carry, because you can use
a single holder to make as many exposures as you need.
The sealed packet also keeps light, fingerprints, and dust
safely away from the film.

Each READYLOAD Single-Sheet Packet contains one
sheet of 4 x 5-inch film, which is attached on both ends to
a leader and trailer. The lighttight outer envelope performs
the same function as a dark slide in a conventional
sheet-film holder.
