Kodak Metallic Paper (not to be confused with our Metal prints)

Kodak Metallic prints are usually referred to as a "Specialty" paper.  That's because this paper is really different.  The white points (or base) of the paper are actually silver looking.

When you combine this silver base with photos of metal, designer graphics, or even rich skin tones, you get images that almost look 3-D.  I don't recommend using this paper for all images, but when you find the right images, the effects/results are amazing!  Most people do a little experimenting until they get a good feel for the Metallic.  I usually recommend adding some contrast so you can see some white points and get the full effect of that silver base.

It's important to note that we have another line of products called Metal Prints, which are actually prints on Metal or aluminum.  It's a totally different product and process.  Check them both out!
