Photographic Paper - Types of Photographic Papers

Types of Photographic Papers

Photographic papers fall into one of three sub-categories:

  • Papers used for negative-positive processes. This includes all current black-and-white papers and chromogenic color papers.
  • Papers used for positive-positive processes in which the "film" is the same as the final image (e.g., the Polaroid process).
  • Papers used for positive-positive film-to-paper processes where a positive image is enlarged and copied onto a photographic paper, for example the Ilfochrome process.

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types, photographic and/or papers:

    ... there are two types of happiness and I have chosen that of the murderers. For I am happy. There was a time when I thought I had reached the limit of distress. Beyond that limit, there is a sterile and magnificent happiness.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.
    —Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)

    The photographic image ... is a message without a code.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I’d bet I wouldn’t lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.
    Berkeley Breathed (b. 1957)
