ILLUMINATION FOR EVALUATION OF
PRINTS
PRINTS
Evaluation of prints for color and density requires higher
illumination levels than those used in normal display
conditions. A good average conditionfor evaluation is a
light source with a color temperature of 5000 K
illumination levels than those used in normal display

light source with a color temperature of 5000 K
± 1000, a
Color Rendering Index of 85 to 100, and an illuminance of
at least 50 footcandles (538 lux). Fluorescent lamps such
as cool white deluxe (made by several manufacturers)
meet these conditions.

You can also use a mixture of incandescent and
fluorescent lamps. For each pair of 40-watt cool white
deluxe fluorescent lamps, use a 75-watt frosted, tungsten
bulb.

RETOUCHING
If possible, do any required retouching on color negatives
before you make prints—especially if you plan to make
more than one print from each negative. For information on
retouching negatives, see KODAK Publication No. E-71,
Retouching Color Negatives.
before you make prints—especially if you plan to make
more than one print from each negative. For information on
retouching negatives, see KODAK Publication No. E-71,
Retouching Color Negatives.
If the negative image is small, you can make corrections
much more easily by applying dry or liquid dyes to small or
large areas of the enlarged print. Although you’ll probably
do most retouching with dyes, you may sometimes want to
use black lead, colored pencils, or opaque. Because color
prints have separate dye layers, you can’t use an etching
knife to reduce density as you can with black-and-white
materials. For information on retouching prints, see
KODAK Publication No. E-70, Retouching Prints on KODAK
EKTACOLOR and EKTACHROME Papers.

POST-PROCESS TREATMENTS
Mounting Prints
You can mount prints with dry mounting tissue. The
temperature across the heating platen should be 82 to
93
temperature across the heating platen should be 82 to
93
° C (180 to 200° F). Preheat the cover sheet that you use
over the face of the print to remove moisture. Apply
pressure for 30 seconds, or up to 3 minutes in the case of a
thick mount.
pressure for 30 seconds, or up to 3 minutes in the case of a
thick mount.
Caution
Temperatures above 93
° C (200° F) for long periods of
time may cause physical and color changes in prints.
Excessive moisture may also cause color shifts. Mounting
at the lowest temperature at the shortest time will reduce
these changes.

You can also use a contact-type adhesive or cement for
cold-mounting.
