Kodak Photo Paper brand introduction

In 1994, the king of film Kodak's color fast printing shop entered China, and then quickly occupied the main blocks of large and small cities across the country, and expanded to more than 8,000 in 2003, which laid a solid mass foundation for Kodak, although color printing declined under the impact of the digital wave, Kodak's reputation is still loud, inkjet printing photo paper has also been further developed in this period, and by 2005, Kodak has released a total of 13 kinds of household inkjet printing photo paper of various grades.
 
However, affected by Kodak's declining profits and business adjustments, the most widely sold Kodak print photo paper on the market is only a few series of high-gloss photo paper, RC photo paper and household photo paper, and the paper base is slightly thinner than the royal photo paper used in professional printing shops, with a variety of thicknesses of 110g, 180g, 200g, 230g and 270g.
 
Kodak's inkjet printing photo paper is applied with its patented special coating, the paper is pure white, the color reproduction effect is excellent, and it can present high purity and delicate colors, among which the red and yellow restoration effect is the best, which is recognized as the first choice for portrait printing in the industry. Its ink-absorbing coating contains special polymers and additives, so the photo paper has a good gloss, strong water resistance and dries quickly. Kodak Photo Paper is also highly compatible and can be used on most common inkjet printers to obtain clear, clear, stable and long-lasting images.
 
The back has a sense of paper is ordinary high-gloss photo paper, high brightness but not waterproof, there is a sense of plastic is RC photo paper, double-sided waterproof performance is good, the photo is still stiff and the pattern will not be spent, the weight of one square meter is 270g, but due to more advanced technology, it is thinner than 230g high-gloss photo paper, which is more suitable for home inkjet printers, and the compact texture can also reduce the light transmittance of the photo, making the image clearer and more real. RC photo paper is divided into two types: high-gloss and suede, a 270g 6-inch RC suede photo paper costs about 3 cents, and the cost performance is very good.
 
Kodak also has a range of photo papers to choose from, which are thinner and stiffer than both high-gloss and RC photo papers, but they can be used in home inkjet printers without the need to deliberately choose a low grammage. Among them, there is a non-marking photo sticker, the mercerized silk material photo sticker is tear-resistant, it can be pasted many times after printing, it can also be restored to its original state after folding and curling, and the printing effect is not inferior, suitable for DIY walls, refrigerator doors, the price of a 6-inch traceless photo sticker is about 1.7 yuan.
 
Due to business problems, since 2008, Kodak photo paper in the Chinese market has been produced by Pantek agents, but there are many fakes, and the genuine products are boxed paper zipper design, and there is a light gray "Kodak Paper" watermark and anti-counterfeiting label on the back. If the printer used is HP, Epson 4-color, and brother inkjet printers, it is recommended to buy photo paper of other thicknesses in addition to 230g high-gloss photo paper, otherwise there is a risk of paper jam.
