Double the message, Double the impact: New! KODAK Premium Textured Display Film
Your customers can now save money on banner displays by getting twice the impact with one high-quality, double-sided banner material from KODAK Wide-Format Media —introducing KODAK Premium Textured Display Film. This opaque banner prints sharp, vibrant graphics on both sides for tradeshow and event exhibits, banner stands, and point-of-purchase displays.

Highly scratch- and water-resistant, this durable film is a PVC/PET hybrid material, making it a high-performance yet cost-effective solution suitable for indoor and outdoor use. There is no need for lamination; just print, trim, and ship. The double-sided base material is stable, resists curl, and stays flat when unrolled for display; but what truly sets this material apart is its soft, textured, velvet-like finish on both sides.

KODAK Premium Textured Display Film is compatible with solvent, eco-solvent, resin, and UV-curable printers.

Double your market opportunities and offer KODAK Premium Textured Display Film today.

5 Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Photo Paper

With so many inkjet photo paper brands and choices, knowing which type of paper to offer your customers and in what price range can be tricky. 

Five factors to consider when choosing the right paper:

  1. Coating helps ink stay on the paper by controlling how it is absorbed. 
  2. Color gamut relates to the range of colors a specific paper can reproduce from its source image.
  3. D-Max describes the maximum black tone your choice of photo paper can recreate. Typically matte papers cannot hold the same levels of black as glossy papers.
  4. Archival properties mean the print is designed to last long without fading or yellowing.
  5. Instant-dry capability a microporous coating allows prints to dry instantly.

To provide the right paper for the right application and keep them coming back for more, KODAK offers wide-format printing materials to fit every need of the professional photographer or print service provider.

These are just a few of the many photographic paper choices available to fill the varying needs of your customers. For more information or to order, visit KODAKWFMedia.com or call us at 888-893-4668, or email us at info@KODAKWFMedia.com.

KODAK Photo Paper Works With All Printer Brands

Not all photo papers are compatible with all printers. Many printers are designed to work best with their own branded paper but may not produce optimal results with other brands. KODAK Photo Paperhas been tested to perform seamlessly on all brands of large-format printers, including Epson, Canon, and HP. For professional quality results, your customers need an ICC profile for their printer-paper-ink combination, which most paper brands provide for only their printers. 

To ensure quality printing on all printers, KODAK supports you and your customers with color profiles for the optimum print quality on KODAK media for any printer.

And KODAK Photo Paper is a lower-cost option with the guarantee of the KODAK brand seal on the back.

Remind your customers that they have options besides their printer manufacturer-specific paper. Instead, they can get the flexibility and quality assurance that comes with KODAK Photo Paper.

No. 1 Factor in Creating Beautiful Photo Reproductions = Paper

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.

Professional photographers choose KODAK PROFESSIONAL Fine Art & Photo Media:

  • Most widely recognized and trusted brands of professional photographers
  • True blacks, a higher D-max, instant drying, with a brighter white point
  • Acid-free to last for decades
  • Heavy 255g paper prevents curling and strengthens the print
  • Compatible with the latest wide format printers, including Canon, Epson & HP
  • Economically priced
  • FSC®-certified—check out the full list of KODAK FSC®-certified products 

If your customers print high-quality inkjet art reproductions, provide fine art printing, or simply want a great printed image, offer them the best:

A Portfolio of KODAK Paper is Now FSC®-certified!

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.
