KODAK VISION Color Print Film / 2383/3383 sensitometry (characteristic curve) is different from EASTMAN EXR Color Print Film 2386, 3386. The upper scale is slightly higher in D-max, resulting in an improved black on projection. The toe areas of the three sensitometric curves are matched more closely than 2386 Film, producing more neutral highlights on projection.

2383/3383 Film is coated on a new ESTAR base featuring proprietary Kodak technology that replaces rem-jet with a process-surviving, anti-static layer, and scratch-resistant backing layer. This film has an efficient antihalation layer under the emulsion layers, using patented solid particle dyes that are decolorized and removed during processing.

Laboratory benefits include:

  • Polyester base - greater tear strength, durability, dimensional stability, and archival keeping.
  • Elimination of rem-jet (no carbon black or prebath- soluble binder) - potential for reduced chemical and water usage in processing, and improved cleanliness on high speed printers (less white dirt).
  • Process-surviving anti-static layer along with UV dye - protection from static marks prior to printing
  • Process-surviving anti-static layer - reduced dirt attraction to processed prints and static protection prior to processing
  • Process-surviving lubricant - better transport characteristics for processed film
  • Patented antihalation dye technology - superior halation protection (no colored fringes in titles), and improved safelight edge fog protection for digital soundtrack area
  • Patented emulsion technology - improved fades and dissolves, less propensity to safelight fog, better blacks, and improved subtitling
  • Optimized tone scale / New photographic technology - improved blacks and more neutral highlights on projection
  • Fundamental improvements to the base - improved laser subtitling

Benefits for distributors and exhibitors include:

  • Polyester base, elimination of rem-jet, process-surviving ant-static layer along with UV dye, scratch resistant backing layer, and process-surviving lubricant - cleaner, more durable prints
  • Patented antihalation dye technology - no colored fringes in titles, and improved safelight edgefog protection for digital soundtrack
  • Patented emulsion technology - improved fades and dissolves, less propensity to safelight fog, better blacks, improved subtitling, and less lab-to-lab processing variability for one look worldwide
  • Optimized tone scale / New photographic technology - improved blacks, and more neutral highlights on projection
  • Fundamental improvements to the base - improved laser subtitling
