Expert analysis
What you should know
KODAK PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper, Lustre / 255g is a resin-coated photo paper at 10 mil and 255 gsm with a lustre surface — the lightly textured finish between gloss and matte that most professional portrait work is printed on. Kodak states this next-generation paper has a larger colour gamut and a higher Dmax, so colours captured in camera reproduce more accurately, blacks go deeper and richer, dynamic range expands and shadow areas hold more detail.
What KODAK PROFESSIONAL Inkjet Photo Paper, Lustre / 255g is used for
Kodak publishes no application list for this paper. Its published argument is entirely technical — gamut, Dmax, dynamic range, shadow detail — which points at work judged against the original file rather than at a display application. We have not filled the gap with an invented list.
Ink compatibility
No ink-chemistry rating is on file for this listing. Unlike its glossy sibling, which is rated BEST for aqueous dye and aqueous pigment, this lustre listing has no printer or ink compatibility row in the vendor data we hold, and we have deliberately not copied the glossy paper’s ratings across. Given the shared resin-coated base and weight it is reasonable to expect aqueous behaviour, but we are not going to state a rating we cannot cite. If a confirmed chemistry rating matters before you commit, ask us and we will source it from Kodak.
Working with it
Kodak’s finishing guidance is explicit: a protective laminate is always recommended after printing, hand-applying it is not recommended, pressure-sensitive or thermal laminates can be used, and the image should dry for 24 hours before laminating. Measured optics are 90 brightness, 90% opacity and 134 CIE whiteness. Rolls run 10 to 44 inches wide on 3-inch cores — a narrower top width than the glossy version, which reaches 60 inches.
