Technology + Art
Photography has become a combination of technology and art. Artists interested in accurate reproductions of their work must understand not only the software, printer hardware, and principles of color management and file output but also the most critical element of fine art reproduction—the paper! The choice of paper is an artistic choice but also involves crucial technical factors that impact the final piece, such as texture, weight, thickness, how it renders the original with color accuracy and details, and archival permanence.
It's the Paper
Artists and photographers want predictable paper that they can rely on for consistent results every time. And they want paper they know is certified sustainable. A portfolio of KODAK Photo Papers is now FSC®-certified, which means it's sourced from responsibly managed forests that ensure trees are replanted and the environment is not harmed.

What does that mean?
FSC®-certified papers are sourced from responsibly managed forests that ensure trees are replanted and that wildlife, local communities, and the environment are not harmed. The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) tracks its paper from forest to consumer.
Why it matters?
One and a half acres of forest are cut down every second. The rate of deforestation equals the loss of 36 football fields every minute. Loss of forests contributes between 12% and 17% of annual greenhouse gas emissions….and we could go on and on.
Resellers and print providers that offer their customers FSC®-certified papers demonstrate a commitment to supporting sustainable printing practices that help our planet, which in addition, helps their brand. Consumers care increasingly about environmental issues. FSC®-certified paper is fast becoming the norm in the print industry. And this is the way we change the world—print by print.
