CURRENT INFORMATION SUMMARY  
Printer Conversion to  
KODAK EKTACOLOR Edge 8 and  
EKTACOLOR ROYAL VIII Papers  
in densitometer performance when setting up their printers  
for the new papers.  
KODAK EKTACOLOR Edge 8 and ROYAL VIII Papers  
incorporate new image-forming components to deliver  
improved colors. These new papers are designed so that a  
visually neutral patch will result in approximately balanced  
red, green, and blue densities when measured with  
densitometers that conform to ANSI Status A responses.  
Some densitometers that do not conform to ANSI Status A  
responses may produce non-matched red, green, and blue  
densities for a neutral patch on these new papers. Labs that  
use these non-Status A densitometers must compensate for  
the differences in densitometer performance when they set  
up printers for the new papers.  
When you are ready to convert to KODAK  
EKTACOLOR Edge 8 or ROYAL VIII Paper, follow the  
procedure below to determine how your densitometer  
performs. Once you’ve determined the densitometer  
performance, choose the appropriate compensation  
procedure (if one is necessary).  
To Determine If Compensation Is Required  
1. Print your “Normal” Printer Control Negative on  
EKTACOLOR Edge 7 or ROYAL VII Paper at the aim  
density.  
2. With EKTACOLOR Edge 8 or ROYAL VIII Paper,  
balance to match the density readings from Step 1.  
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?  
Densitometers fall into two classes: (1) for analytical use and  
(2) for comparative use.  
3. Compare the two prints. If the prints match visually,  
follow normal printer paper conversion procedures (see  
your printer manual). If the print from Step 2 appears  
cyan, the densitometer is reading EKTACOLOR Edge 8  
or ROYAL VIII Paper differently. You will need to  
follow one of the compensation procedures below.  
Analytical densitometers conform to an ANSI standard  
called “Status A.” Status A densitometers correlate colors  
similarly to the human eye through a wide color and density  
range. These densitometers will give similar readings for  
KODAK EKTACOLOR Edge 7/ROYAL VII and  
EKTACOLOR Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Papers if the prints  
appear visually matched.  
Note: Compensation procedures have not been prepared  
for equipment that produces matched prints in Step 3 of  
the procedure above. If your printer is not included in  
the list below, follow your equipment manufacturer’s  
paper setup instructions.  
Comparative densitometers are designed to match prints  
to a specific density. They are not intended for use over a  
wide range of densities and colors, and they do not see colors  
as the human eye does. These densitometers are often used  
in printing systems as a part of a minilab or a high-speed  
printer. They produce consistent measurements in the ranges  
used for printer setup. However, with KODAK  
EKTACOLOR Edge 8 or ROYAL VIII Paper, they do not  
measure the neutral aim patches as neutral. For example, an  
aim print on EKTACOLOR Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Paper  
measures 0.80 red, 0.80 green, and 0.80 blue with a Status A  
densitometer. The same print may measure 0.70 red,  
0.80þgreen, and 0.80 blue with a comparative densitometer.  
COMPENSATION PROCEDURES  
If you have one of the printers in the following list, choose  
the appropriate procedure:

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR LABS?  
New EKTACOLOR Edge 8 and ROYAL VIII Papers  
provide many performance advantages. But when they are  
used with densitometers that do not conform to Status A  
specifications, results may vary. Labs that use these  
non-Status A densitometers must compensate for differences

would input the following:  
Ringaround Method  
This method does not require a densitometer.  
1. When your supply of EKTACOLOR Edge 7/  
ROYAL VII Paper is about to run out, print the Printer  
Setup Negative “Normal,” “Under,” and “Over” on the  
channel most commonly used for the paper. Label the  
three prints “Old-Paper Reference Print—Normal,”  
“Old-Paper Reference Print—Under,” and “Old-Paper  
Reference Print—Over.”

This Channel Balance correction will be made to  
channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, and 07.  
Note: If the channels that will use the new paper are not  
in a continuous range, you will have to make multiple  
corrections to avoid altering channels that use other  
paper types.  
Keep the negative and prints in a safe place. Record the  
paper channel (00 to 59) and Morning Setup channel (11  
to 84) used to print this test.  
Also record the channels that will be using the new  
paper. Only these channels will be corrected.  
8. Repeat Steps 3 through 7 until the Normal test print  
matches the Normal reference print within one button.  
When the test print matches the reference print, you can  
proceed to “Setting the Paper Slope.”  
Note: If this paper size/surface will also be used for  
Morning Setup, you must include channel 00 in the  
corrections.  
2. When you are ready to convert to the new paper, load it  
into the printer.  
Setting the Paper Slope  
After matching the Normal test and Normal reference prints,  
make test prints from the “Under” and “Over” Printer Setup  
Negative. Make sure to use the same channel that was used  
to make the Old-Paper Reference Prints. If the Under and  
Over test prints match the reference prints, the conversion is  
complete.  
3. Print a one-button ringaround, using the same test  
negative you used to make the reference prints in Step 1.  
You must use the same paper channel and Morning  
Setup channel as before. Print a ringaround from the  
Normal negative as follows:  
If the test and reference prints do not match, proceed as  
follows:  
1. Calculate the corrections from the density readings in  
the same way you did for the normal test and reference  
prints.  
To print a one-button ringaround:  
MODE 32 (AUTO RINGAROUND)YESAUTO  
RINGAROUND 0(0-2:COLOR 3:DEN)1YES  
4. When the prints are processed, select the print that is the  
closest match to the reference print. Apply the  
correction as indicated by the backprint. It will appear in  
this order:  
2. Apply the slope correction to the paper channels that  
will use the new paper by using the channel shift

This is a typical example. Some printers may have  
different CVP settings. If the backprint is switched off  
or not legible, keep the prints in order and mark the  
correction on the back. The prints are printed in this  
order: -Y, +Y, -M, +M, -C, +C, -D, +D, N.  
To correct the Over slope:  
MODE 33 (CH SHIFT)YESCH BALANCE  
SHIFTNONOCH OVER

5. Identify the channels that are currently using the old  
paper. These channels will all require the same  
correction.  
You do not include CH 00 in the channel range, because  
slope is switched off for CH 00.  
Note: If the Master Balance or Morning Setup channel  
will use the new paper, you must include CH 00 in the  
Channel Balance Shift.  
3. Repeat the steps until the Under and Over test prints  
match the Under and Over reference prints to within one  
button.  
6. Apply the balance correction to the paper channels  
using this paper size:  
When Channel 00 is set up for EKTACOLOR Edge 8/  
ROYAL VIII Paper, you must make a new Morning Setup  
reference print to use in place of the old Edge 7/ROYAL VII  
Paper reference print. When you have achieved the final  
balance, make a print on CH 00 and store it to use for  
Morning Setup.

The Channel Balance correction will be made to  
channels 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15.  
Note: If the Master Balance or Morning Setup channel  
will use the new paper, you must include CH 00 in the  
Channel Balance Shift. For example, if channels 01, 02,  
03, 04, 05, 06, and 07, and the Master Balance or  
Morning Setup channel will use the new paper, you  
would input the following:

without noticeable differences in print quality.  
This Channel Balance correction will be made to  
channels 00, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, and 07.  
Note: If the channels that will use the new paper are not  
in a continuous range, you will have to make multiple  
corrections to avoid altering channels that use other  
paper types.  
Setup Procedure  
Before your supply of EKTACOLOR Edge 7/ROYAL VII  
Paper runs out, be sure that you have a Morning Setup  
reference print on Edge 7/ROYAL VII Paper. If none is  
available, perform a Morning Setup to make a reference print  
on the old paper. Then do this:  
8. Print a half-button ringaround to fine-tune the  
correction:  
1. Install the EKTACOLOR Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Paper  
magazine.  
MODE 32 (AUTO RINGAROUND)YESAUTO  
RINGAROUND 0(0-2:COLOR 3:DEN)0YES  
2. Perform a Morning Setup on the new paper, and process  
the print.  
9. Repeat the steps above to match the channels to the  
reference prints on Edge 7/ROYAL VII Paper. When  
the Normal test print matches the Normal reference  
print within one button, you can proceed to “Setting the  
Paper Slope.”  
3. Calculate a correction to produce a visual match  
between the test print on Edge 8/ROYAL VIII Paper  
and the reference print on Edge 7/ROYAL VII Paper as  
shown in the example. Use an X-Rite or similar  
Setting the Paper Slope  
densitometer that has Status A filters (e.g., an X-Rite  
881 or 891 densitometer) to measure the print densities.  
After matching the Normal test and Normal reference prints,  
follow the same procedure you did for balance.  
1. Print a ringaround from the Under and Over Printer  
Setup Negatives.
