Ordinary electric (tungsten) lighting, if bright enough, shows up the colours reasonably well, but some forms of fluorescent lighting may make the colours appear false.' 'Like other dyes, those used in colour prints may fade. prolonged exposure to bright daylight particularly to direct sunlight, should be avoided. 'The word 'Kodachrome' is a trade mark: it can only be applied to photographic materials and prints made by Kodak.'
