Duratrans Printing
Most of us might have started forgetting the Kodak story, but not for ardent photographers. Eastman Kodak Company has managed to etch its name deep in the history of photography through its numerous contributions to the field. One key contribution is the Duratrans photographic and printing technique.
What Is Duratrans Printing?
Duratrans is the shortened name for the Endura Transparency technique. This technique was developed and so named in Kodak Company in mid-1979. It refers to large sized backlit transparent color films. The Duratrans name has been adapted to encompass all forms of large display backlit display materials.
In the printing technique graphics are printed on a translucent base film. It is also possible to print them on a transparent base. In the latter, a milky backside membrane, the diffuser, is added to increase the light dispersion across the whole surface.
What are the benefits of Duratrans Printing?
Since its advent Duratrans has been preferred for the following reasons:
Resolution:
Duratrans has a higher resolution than most other forms of print solutions. Under normal print, you can easily get a 1200 dpi print. An optimized print can go up to 4000 dpi for very large prints. As such it is a better choice for large outdoor signages.
Durability/ Color Lifespan:
Ultraviolet light tends to cause decay on photographic prints especially cheaper pigment options. It has a higher lifespan in comparison to other print materials. More reason to use it for outdoor displays.
Black Opacity:
Light blocking is an important feature in making graphic prints sparkle prominently. Dura displays handle this print aspect quite well. They can block transmitted light which results in a lighter color schematic where there are dark image shades.
Dot Size:
It can capture so many dots per inch within a small portion. This results in a rich fine picture. As compared to other inkjet prints, it offers some of the smoothest color transition prints.
Contrast and Saturation:
Due to high pixels and resolution, it can produce high contrast prints. The color saturation on its large format display is the best one can get for any display.
Technical Specs
As you might notice, duratrans offer so many advantages when it comes to display. Whenever thinking of advertising, it should be among your first choices. Get a couple of trustworthy graphic design printers to help you in this pursuit. You won’t regret it.
Cost:
It requires skill to produce. It also needs specialized printers to produce on the special film. This makes its displays more expensive to produce.
Backlit Restriction:
Unfortunately, the backlit display prints are restricted to the use of backlights. Without the availability of backlights, the pictures tend to appear distorted.
Usage:
If using on large format displays it is the best option to use. If trying on a small signage with clear surrounding light there are cheaper options.
Period of Use:
Due to expense it is best used if your mind is made up on middle to long-term use. If you are bent on changing signage and advert displays frequently, you should consider going for another option
