I like the look of metallic photographic paper, but I don't know anything about it. I want to print with it this semester because it makes prints look more dynamic and 3-D. I plan on making three dimensional scenes out of pieces of my photographs so metallic paper should further enhance the look. The subject matter of my photos is somewhat otherworldly and the metallic paper will enhance that as well. How does it work? Kodak's Professional Endura Metallic VC digital paper claims:
- Striking, distinctive metallic eye-catching look
- Increased color gamut for rich impact and intense blacks to enhance print appeal
- Optimized for digital printing
- Consistent results and efficient operations: improved calibration robustness, low replenishment rate, less waste
- Exceptional sharpness: type, graphics, images
- Drives commercial sales interest for standard and pop-up displays
- Expands portrait print options, accenting quality and developing new business
- State-of-the-art image stability* (100 years in typical home display, 200 years in dark storage, one to five years for commercial display)
ENDURA Metallic VC Paper uses a proprietary combination of film laminate layers to produce three-dimensional, outstanding, lasting images on an ultra-bright background. Its professional emulsion set provides extreme sharpness, brightness, and color saturation with an intense black density that increases visual appeal. |
