DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
Handle unprocessed paper in total darkness. Be sure that
your darkroom is lighttight. Eliminate stray light from
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.
EXPOSURE
Digital Printing
You can expose KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA
Premier Paper with many types of digital printers. It
performs well with the following Kodak digital printers:
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL LED Color Printer
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL LED II Printer 20P/20R
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL Digital Multiprinter
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL Digital Multiprinter II
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL LF CRT Color Printer
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL RP 30 Laser Printer
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL RR 30 Laser Printer
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL SRP 30 Laser Printer
• KODAK PROFESSIONAL RP 50 LED Printer
Initial conversion to this paper involves the recalibration
of your printers. You will also need to download new aim
files and ICC output profiles for this paper. For up-to-date
starting values for Kodak digital printers and other
manufacturers' equipment, refer to the following

Color Management
ENDURA Premier Paper is optimized for printing in both
internal and external color-managed, short exposure,
digital workflows. Many digital printers have
color-management capability built into their software.
ENDURA Premier Paper is fully compatible with these
printers.

Optical Printing
Expose KODAK PROFESSIONAL ENDURA Premier Paper
in automatic printers and enlargers equipped with
tungsten or tungsten-halogen light sources or photo
enlarger lamps. Set up and balance the printer or enlarger
according to manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use fluorescent lamps to expose this paper. Use
a heat-absorbing glass to remove infrared radiation.
Because voltage changes affect light output and color
quality, use a voltage regulator.
Keep negatives and the equipment optical system clean.
Mask negatives to eliminate stray light. You can use the
white-light or tricolor exposure method.
Printer Setup
Update your printers by running your normal and slope
printer control negatives to adjust printer slope. (See
"Printer Control Tools.") This will optimize the print quality
due to the improved reciprocity of these papers.
White-Light Exposure Method
Control color balance with dichroic filters built into the
printer or enlarger, or with KODAK Color Printing (CP)
Filters (Acetate) placed between the lamp and the
negative. You can use any number of filters between the
light source and the negative. If you use cyan filtration, use
filters with the suffix "-2," (e.g. "CP10C-2"). Start with a
filter pack of 40M + 50Y to make a test print
Tricolor Exposure Method
Use KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filters No. 25 (red),
No. 99 (green), and No. 47B (blue) to give the paper three
separate exposures. Do not move the paper or the enlarger
until you have made all three exposures. Typical exposure
times for making an enlargement from a normally exposed
negative are given in the table below.

LATENT-IMAGE KEEPING
Under normal conditions, you should not notice shifts in
the latent image with keeping times from 5 seconds to 24
hours. Therefore, you do not need to change your printing
procedures to compensate for latent-image shifts under
normal temperature and handling conditions.
