KODAK PROFESSIONAL SUPRA ENDURA VC Digital Paper 

• E-4042

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.

You can expose KODAK PROFESSIONAL SUPRA ENDURA 
VC Digital 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

Initial conversion to this paper involves the recalibration 

of your printers. You will also need to download new aim

Color Management
SUPRA ENDURA VC Digital 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. 
SUPRA ENDURA VC Digital Paper is fully compatible with 
these printers.

This paper can be printed optically. The image will be high 
in contrast and, if balanced on flesh tones, the neutrals will 
appear cyan.

This paper features improvements in the stability of the 
latent image. 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.

Use KODAK EKTACOLOR RA Chemicals for Process RA-4, 
and use KODAK PROFESSIONAL Pro Strips Color Negative 
Paper Control Strips / for Process RA-4. (See "Process 
Control.")

Note: Although Kodak does not recommend Process 
RA-2SM for professional media, some customers may 
judge the results acceptable for certain applications. 
Customers should test the media to determine 
acceptability, as this process may provide warmer results 
than desired.

When fully converted to these new papers, your 

developer replenishment rate should be approximately 
10% lower than with KODAK PROFESSIONAL SUPRA 
ENDURA Paper. Review your process control charts and 
make adjustments as needed to stay in control.

Bleach-fix replenishment rates will stay the same for 

Process RA-4. When using KODAK EKTACOLOR PRIME 
Bleach-Fix Replenisher, replenishment rates will need to 
increase.

For detailed information on replenishment rates and 

processing this paper in continuous or roller-transport 
processors, see KODAK Publication No. Z-130, Using 
KODAK EKTACOLOR RA Chemicals. For information on 
processing this paper in trays or rotary-tube and drum 
processors, see KODAK Publication No. J-39, Tray, Drum, 
and Rotary-Tube Processing with KODAK EKTACOLOR RA 
Chemicals. Both publications are available through our

Do not use drying temperatures above 93

° C (200° F) to 

avoid damage to prints.

Underdrying can produce tackiness that tends to make 

paper stick when it is wound into rolls before cutting. 
Overdrying can cause curl and complicate transport in print 
finishing.

Do not ferrotype this paper—its surface dries to a 

natural gloss without ferrotyping.
