Keep negatives and the equipment optical system clean. Mask negatives to eliminate stray light. You can use the DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS white-light or tricolor exposure method. Handle unprocessed paper in total darkness. Be sure that your darkroom is light tight. Eliminate stray light from enlarger heads, timers, LEDs, etc. Note: Using a safelight will affect your results. If absolutely necessary, you can use a safelight equipped with a KODAK 13 Safelight Filter (amber) with a 7 1/2-watt bulb. Keep the safelight at least 1.2 metres (4 feet) from the paper. Keep safelight exposure as short as possible. Run tests to determine that safelight use gives acceptable results for your application. 2 KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic Paper • E-4028 Printer Setup If your Subtract these OR Add these filters KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Metallic Paper is print is filters slightly slower than KODAK PROFESSIONAL PORTRA and RED Cyan Magenta + Yellow SUPRA ENDURA Papers. As a starting point, use the same GREEN Magenta Cyan + Yellow printing times and include a density series to determine BLUE Yellow Cyan + Magenta your preferred exposure. Initial conversion to this paper from KODAK 5. Remove neutral density from your filter pack. For PROFESSIONAL Color Metallic Paper involves rebalancing example, if you determine that a filter pack of your printers. Since the green speed is about a 1/2 stop 40R + 10Y + 10C will give you a pleasing print: faster than Color Metallic Paper, increase your magenta a. Convert any primary filters (R, G, B) to their filtration by approximately 15CC. subtractive equivalents (C, M, Y): 40R = 40M + 40Y. White-Light Exposure Method b. Add filters of the same color: 10Y + 40Y = 50Y. Control color balance with dichroic filters built into the printer or enlarger, or with KODAK Color Printing (CP) c. If the new filter pack has all three subtractive Filters (Acetate) placed between the lamp and the colors, cancel the neutral density by subtracting negative. You can use any number of filters between the the smallest density value from all three densities: light source and the negative. If you use cyan filtration, use filters with the suffix “-2,” (e.g. “CP10C-2”). 10C 40M 50Y 1. Start with a filter pack of 60M + 45Y to make a test -10 -10 -10 filtration without print. 30M 40Y = neutral density 2. Evaluate the test print under light of the same color and brightness that you will use to display the final 6. Adjust the exposure for the new filter pack. An print.

If necessary, make another density may not produce an acceptable density when print by adjusting the exposure as recommended in you change the filter pack.
