The New Kodak Paper

2004-02-05 by Jeff Magidson

I was happy to see the New Kodak Ultima paper in  Satin finish at my 
local computer super store yesterday so I picked up a 15 sheet package.

A few observations:

I like the Satin finish... Very minimal surface texture and 
reflections... most like Kodak "N" surface C-Print paper.

The prints are QUITE tacky ( surface - not my imagery ) after printing. 
As the enclosed instruction say "Allow photos to dry approximately 24 
hours after printing before stacking" .

For this reason, I would not use this paper for quick prints ( clients 
thumbnail sheets, give away prints, etc ) but only for more serious 
work.

Also.. I wonder if Kodak will ever release this paper in larger sizes 
than 8 1/2  x 11 .

-Jeff
