What you should know

KODAK Production Matte Paper / 170g is a matte photo paper at 7 mil and 170 gsm on a smooth, bright white base. Kodak’s framing is direct: it gives users the ability to print high-quality photos at low cost. At 150 CIE whiteness this is the brightest sheet in Kodak’s photographic paper range as we hold it, which is what makes colour read hard from across a room.

What KODAK Production Matte Paper / 170g is used for

Point-of-purchase displays
Posters
Architectural drawings
Full-colour photos
Colour-accurate renderings

Architectural drawings and colour-accurate renderings are the entries that separate this from an ordinary poster paper. A rendering has to be judged for colour, not just looked at, and a matte surface is what lets that happen under studio or site lighting without a hotspot sitting across the image. POP displays, posters and architectural drawings are Kodak’s stated ideal applications.

Ink compatibility

Aqueous dye and aqueous pigment inks are each rated BEST, which covers the aqueous plotters that architectural and production shops actually run. Latex, solvent, eco-solvent and UV-curable inks are not rated for this paper.

Working with it

Kodak’s protection guidance is broader than a simple laminate instruction: protect the printed side by mounting under glass, laminating, clear coating or using photographic sleeves, any of which helps image durability and stability. Where a laminate is used, pressure-sensitive types provide the best bond and hand application is not recommended. Rolls run 36 to 60 inches wide on 2-inch cores. The same paper is stocked in a 42-inch pallet-quantity listing for shops running it continuously.

Printers this media fits

Checked against every wide-format printer we track: 147 can run it — HP 60 · Epson 50 · Canon 37. Compatibility is resolved from the printer’s published media handling (roll width, core size and the roll diameter the spindle holds), not from a marketing list.

The list starts from the maker’s own ink ratings for this media — rated BEST for Dye, Pigment ink. A printer only appears here if its ink chemistry is one of those.
