Kodak UV-curable media bags 'Hot One' award

The prestigious Professional Photography Award titled ‘Hot One’ has been conferred on Kodak’s new UV-curable Display Film and Paper. Introduced by Australian distributor Starleaton Digital Solutions late in 2010, Kodak’s Professional UV-curable materials solve the problem of achieving critical photographic results on back and front-lit displays using wide-format UV inkjet instead of photo chemical processes.

The backlit display market for highest quality results is still dominated by photosensitive films, including Kodak’s Endura, imaged on laser and LED machines such as the Lambda and Lightjet. This is because of the great resolution, colour saturation and durability. Until now, inkjet has failed to successfully challenge this market at the highest quality level. With the introduction of Kodak’s new Professional UV-curable products, combined with high-resolution UV inkjet printers, the results we are seeing are every bit as good, if not better.
