Mutant Materials 4

Duratrans and Duraclear


For the presentation I am going to concentrate on Duratrans and Duraclear. 
These are the trade names for the large format colour transparency film created by Kodak in 1979. 
The film was designed for making large backlit display transparencies for commercial applications - it is widely used in public places such as airports and train stations, shopping centres, fast food outlets, and public spaces for advertising and information purposes on a large scale.

The photographic image is reproduced from a negative onto a large format film that can then be applied to an acrylic substrate for support when being built into a lightbox.

The features of Duratrans and Duraclear are:

High resolution images at 300dpi for crisp edges and true colour.
Variable pixel size to ensure smooth colour transitions.
Higher colour saturation than with other processes.
Higher opacity black for crisper images.
Long pigment colour life than inkjet printing.

The following websites have got good information on the product.
