KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper
• E-7021
DARKROOM RECOMMENDATIONS
With the exception of the sizes designed for KODAK
CREATE-A-PRINT 35 mm Enlargement Centers that
minilab operators can load in room light, handle this paper
in total darkness. Be sure that your darkroom is light tight.
Eliminate any stray light from timers, LEDs, etc. KODAK
ROYAL Digital Paper is sufficiently sensitive to
photographic safelights that sensitometric shifts may
occur before D-min (fog) changes are seen.

safelight at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) from the paper. Keep
safelight exposure as short as possible. Run tests to
determine whether safelight use gives acceptable results
for your application. For information on safelight testing,

necessary. Check production after final balance. You may
want to make a color preference adjustment.

If you are using AGFA MSP or MSC printers, visit
www.kodak.com/go/colorpapers or contact your Kodak
representative to obtain Schwarzschild coefficients. Agfa's
current recommendation is that the Schwarzchild
coefficients are the same for KODAK ROYAL Digital Paper
as for previous ROYAL Papers.

Because voltage changes affect the light output and
color quality, use a voltage regulator. Use a
tungsten-halogen lamp to expose the paper. Do not use a
fluorescent lamp. If the printer has no means of removing
infrared radiation, use a heat-absorbing glass.

Keep negatives and the optical system of your
equipment clean. Mask negatives to eliminate stray light.
To control the color balance, use dichroic filters, KODAK
Color Printing Filters (CP), or KODAK Color Compensating
Filters (CC) placed between the lamp and the negative.
You can also use CC filters between the lens and the paper
if they are clean and unscratched. Use as few CC filters
between the lens and the paper as possible—preferably
not more than three. If you use cyan filtration, use filters
with the suffix “-2,” such as CP10C-2.

Start with a filter pack of 40M + 40Y for the white-light
method. Adjust filtration as necessary.
Printer Control Negative Sets
Use the appropriate KODAK Printer Balancing Kit to
determine aims for KODAK Color Negative Films or to
cross over from another type of color paper to KODAK
ROYAL Digital Paper.

LATENT-IMAGE KEEPING
For best results, process the paper on the same day that
you expose it. (If latent-image shifts occur, minimize them
by keeping the time between exposure and processing as
consistent as possible.)

PROCESSING
Use KODAK EKTACOLOR Chemicals for Process RA-4 or
KODAK EKTACOLOR SM Chemicals for Process RA-2SM.
For FUJI FRONTIER Processors, use KODAK EKTACOLOR
Processing Cartridge 111 and KODAK Rinse Tablets. Use
KODAK Control Strips, Process RA-4 to monitor your
process.

Use a maximum drying temperature of 96
°C (205°F).
VIEWING
Evaluate prints under light of the same color and
brightness that you will use to view the final prints. For an
average condition, use a light source with a color
temperature of 5000
brightness that you will use to view the final prints. For an
average condition, use a light source with a color
temperature of 5000
± 1000 K, a Color Rendering Index
(CRI) of 85 to 100 (an index of 90 or higher is desirable),
and an illuminance up to 500 lux. Fluorescent lamps such
as a cool white deluxe lamp (made by several
manufacturers) meet these conditions You can also use a
mixture of fluorescent and incandescent lamps. For each
pair of 40-watt cool white deluxe lamps, use a 75-watt
frosted tungsten bulb.
