Digital BW, The Print

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,

Note that the package on the satin does not promise 100 years and 
the Glossy paper does. At least that is what I found today when I 
looked at the paper at Office Depot.  I wonder if the Satin has the 
new technology the glossy has?  Hope it does.  Would prefer that 
surface.

Paul;

Your store must have had the OLD Ultima Satin in Stock. The package I 
have has the ColorLast 100 year blurb on it.
