Photo Forum / Photo Technique / People Photography / June 2004Silk ? Kodak Color Paper ?
Some months ago i shot a wedding and printed on a really nice Kodak paper-if i recall was called silk ? or something like that. It had a very nice matt feel. I'm now in a different country so cannot just go and ask that lab. I tried to have alook at available Papers from Kodak but i oculd only find Porta and Supra. www.lab35.co.uk print on Royal Plus paper. I couldnt find any places online that sell colr photographic paper. Would it be more expensive for me to buy the paper and as k the lab to print on it ? Also, how is the film related to the paper ? I assume a let's say Supra Portra paper will have similar charactheristics to the Potra film, so it's likely to reproduce the image more faithfully ? Thanks p.s. Any UK labs with a wider selection of paper would be welcome. you can find it here. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0855328932/qid=1085540063/sr=1 -1/ref=sr_1_1/002-0262192-2453671?v=glance&s=books XLshop A4 259gsm Professional Photo Silk Inkjet Paper (019) Cheap XLshop A4 259gsm Professional Photo Silk Inkjet Paper (019) Printer Paper.

Their "F" paper is glossy, "N" is matte and "E" paper is called satin. It is a slightly pebbly looking finish which is easier to handle with bare hands than glossy paper. You should be able to request the finish you want at a professional lab. In my opinion Supra paper provides the most natural colours from Portra film. I may be wrong but I believe Portra paper has a lower contrast than supra papers. I tried to print a medium contrast Portra negative on medium contrast Portra paper and it looked very flat. >> Some months ago i shot a wedding and printed on a really nice >> Kodak paper-if i recall was called silk ? or something like that.

It isn't normally used by pro labs, more by photo finshers and not even many of them. -- dadiOH _____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.0... ...a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

I have been custom colour printing and minilab printing for 19 years with Kodak paper only and have never heard of a "silk" finish. There is no indication of it on their website. It's possible there is such a thing from another country but it's much more likely the OP was talking about the "satin" finish. >>>> Some months ago i shot a wedding and printed on a really nice >>>> Kodak paper-if i recall was called silk ? or something like that.

It is a fine, regularly embossed pattern, same as it is/was in black & white. And it is "Y".

I have never seen it where I live and have never been able to order it here, or at least it wasn't offered to us by Kodak Canada. |
