So KR is the "consumer" version and PKR is the "pro version" of the emulsion. I've heard that the "pro" emulsions have better color peak after taking them from refrigeration. And consumer emulsions are designed to have a color peak few months after manufacture; Because they aren't refrigerated and usually kept in a shelf.They tell me (the ubiquitous "they") that KR and PKR are exactly the same formula, exactly the same batch, all exactly the same except ...
PKR is aged and shipped at its peak, intended to be refrigerated in the field until use.
