Method to make the backside of commercial print blank?

Hi all,

 

Not sure if this is the right category to ask this in but I was wondering if

anyone knew of a good way to make the backside of a commercial print blank or

attractive?

 

I plan to use a company who makes proofbooks out of the actual prints but the

backside shows (kodak paper logo etc.) I was wondering if there was a good or

economical way to paint/cover/erase the backside of a print?

 

I'm assuming my lab may offer to print on some sort of blank paper or at least

not use their stamp but I beleive this would be at too high a price and was

wondering if anyone knew of an alternative that would work well?

 

Thanks, Jaco

the two remaining manufacturers of color paper, kodak and fuji both put their logo's on the back of the paper. It's not your lab.

You know the pulloff plain white labels? Someone makes them in 8x10 or similar size. Just attach to the back.

It seems <a href="http://www.mitsubishiimaging.com/index.asp">Mitsubishi</a> still manufactures paper, at least they list RA-type papers on their <a href="http://www.mitsubishiimaging.com/pm/index_pm.asp">website</a>, along with PDF price lists.<p>

"Mitsubishi SA-C typically is a non-watermarked product, lending itself to post-production back printing."

Maybe your lab would stock a roll for you.<p>

You might also contact some of their listed dealers and find out which labs they might ship to, or search for labs which use Mitsubishi papers or have Mitsi machines (<a href="http://www.drycreekphoto.com/">Dry Creek's lists</a>, for instance). For example, Rainbow Photo in Bellevue, WA, is listed as using Mitsi SA-D(igital), which is also non-watermarked.

You can use archival dry-mount tissue to melt a piece of plain material onto the back, then trim the edges flush.

 

But why? Who cares? The only reason the logos are a bother is because they show up when printing from a paper neg.
