New Endura paper?

[Matt5791]

I was looking at the Kodak page for Endura paper and this was being championed as a new addition to the range:

Anyone know anything about this? It talks about a very high gloss - maybe that's to offer an alternative to Ilfochrome for those who want to scan slides and print on RA paper.

A few weeks back there was a thread here that Ultra had been cancelled. I suggested that there was some confusion due to the cancellation of some sizes of all Endura papers, and the introduction of a new, High Def Ultra. You may want to refer to that thread.

It is correct. There is a new Ultra Endura.

Thanks for that - sounds interesting - I've read on on the pages, says it is due to be released mid 08.

This is such great news as I really want to do more and more colour printing.

That's a great thing, but it it appears it will mostly be sold in rolls: "There will be a limited range of roll sizes available at launch – others will be made available based on customer/market demand."

I hope they sell it in sheets, and that my stupid local dealers will have it. They can't even manage to get Endura Metallic...

I know it appears to be only rolls, but its still good news.

So Kodak all but discontinues the old ultra endura (now only one roll size in F surface is available unless you order 10k of paper), a favorite among color printers, and in their infinite wisdom they introduce a new paper with a psychedelic irridescent sheen! I can't wait to see it...I wonder if it will be as hideous as the metallic stuff. What a brilliant marketing strategy! I'll make sure to stand in line for my 50" x288' roll.
