RADIANCE III Clear Display Material
FEATURES
BENEFITS
—NOTICE—
• Easy setup and balancing • Quicker turnaround times;
improved productivity
Discontinuance of
KODAK PROFESSIONAL EKTACHROME
RADIANCE III Papers and Materials and
KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals
• Gelatin layer on back
• Greater stability and reduced
curl
Alternative options for image capture and output have
gradually eliminated the need for PROFESSIONAL
EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Papers and Materials as well
as chemicals for Process R-3. Therefore, dependent on
individual country and market requirements, Kodak will
discontinue these products as inventories are exhausted
• Fast printing speed
• Shorter exposure times
• Cleaner, whiter whites
• Extremely low minimum
density
• Elimination of print-out
• Longer life under normal
display conditions
Technology has made the option of scanning, manipulating,
and outputting images directly to traditional color paper very
popular, and photographers are increasingly using color
negative film and digital cameras for image capture. Producing
positive prints, even from transparencies, for image display no
longer requires the use of RADIANCE Papers and Materials.
SIZES AVAILABLE
Sizes and catalog numbers may differ from country to
country. See your dealer who supplies KODAK
PROFESSIONAL Products. The following sizes are
available in the U.S. and Canada.

Display Material
Thank you for using KODAK PROFESSIONAL Products.
KODAK EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Clear
Display Material is a versatile color reversal material
designed for us on illuminators with built-in diffusers. You
can use it for making color displays in process or repro
cameras. The originals can be opaque copy, transparencies,
or three-dimensional objects. You can also use it to make
displays from slides/transparencies with an enlarger without
first having to make internegatives.
It has a clear 7-mil ESTAR Thick base It is available in
large format rolls.
Use KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals to process
this material.

Using an Enlarger
LATENT-IMAGING KEEPING
You can also use this material to make overheads from slides
with a conventional enlarger without first making
internegatives. Equip the enlarger with a heat-absorbing
glass, and use color-correction filters and a voltage regulator.
If you are using color-compensating or color-printing filters,
do not use cyan filters with the suffix “2” as in “CC10C-2” or
“CP10C-2.” You will not need an ultraviolet-absorbing filter.
To make a print 50.8 x 61.0 cm (20 x 24 inches) from a
35 mm slide, use the following adjustments for your trial
exposure with a Durst Optimo AC Enlarger (dichroic filters,
tungsten/halogen light source, 50 mm lens).
A very limited sensitometric variation is noticeable within
the first few minutes after exposure. Beyond 5 minutes after
exposure, there is no significant variation up to several days.
PROCESSING
Use KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 or R-3 LU Chemicals to
process these materials in continuous or roller-transport
processors. In most instances, these materials will require
increased replenishment rates. For specific processing
instructions, see KODAK Publication No. Z-129B, Using
KODAK EKTACHROME R-3 Chemicals in Continuous and
Roller-Transport Processors, available from our website at

DRYING
Printing Method
Filters
Drying conditions for these materials are different from
those used for EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Papers
because of the gelatin anti-curl backing on the base side.
If you process the material in a continuous processor, use
double-bladed squeegees following the final wash. Use a
dryer that blows air on both sides of the material. If your
dryer does not have that capability, you will need to increase
the drying temperature. Remember to set the temperature
back before processing paper again; otherwise, you may
have transport problems and excessive curl in the paper.

Adjustment for Long or Short Exposures
Regardless of the type of light source and exposure time,
there is little or no change in speed or contrast with
EKTACHROME RADIANCE III Clear Display Material.
DISPLAYING
Photographic dyes, like all dyes, can change with time and
exposure to sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, excessive heat,
and high humidity. To help prevent changes in photographic
dyes, follow these guidelines:
