Go big baby! 6″x8″ Hologram Upgrade Kits and film now available!

The wait is over! Our 6″x8″ Hologram Upgrades and Film has officially launched.

In continuing our efforts to push the limits, you can now go beyond the previous limit of 4″x5″ holograms to an even bigger size, 6″x8″.  Of course this is still with our C-RT20 Instant Hologram Film, so you will be making 6″x8″ holograms that are ready to view immediately after exposure, and without any chemicals or processing.

Options, options, options…

Along with the film, we are also introducing a 6″x8″ Upgrade Kit.  This upgrade comes in two options: with a larger 20mW laser or without a 20mW laser.  We recognized that some people might already have a 20mW laser from the 4″x5″ Upgrade Kit so we wanted to provide a more cost efficient product!

Similarly, we now have 2 options for the 4″x5″ Upgrade Kit as well.  The new option is that you can purchase the 4″x5″ upgrade and use the standard laser from the regular Hologram Kit.  The previous  option to get the 4″x5″ upgrade with an upgraded 20mW laser is still available, so that you can make 4″x5″ holograms faster.

You may be asking…

“Why can a 4″x5” Upgrade now use the regular Hologram Kit 5mW laser, when it previously required the larger 20mW laser?” or “Why does the laser from the previous 4″x5″ upgrade work for larger 6″x8″ plates?  Shouldn’t I need an even bigger laser?”

More details are coming soon, but the short answer is that our hologram film is even better than we realized!  We had always been cautious about the “threshold” effect of our unique photopolymer material, but we have now tested and verified that less laser power is needed for larger plates. The exciting upside is that now 4″x5″ holograms can be made with the regular Hologram Kit 5mW laser, and the 20mW laser that we have provided for our 4″x5″ holograms can now also be used for our new 6″x8″ upgrades!

Don’t hesitate – go get your new 6″x8″ Upgrade Kit and enjoy making BIG holograms.
