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)

    Our major universities are now stuck with an army of pedestrian, toadying careerists, Fifties types who wave around Sixties banners to conceal their record of ruthless, beaverlike tunneling to the top.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    Sickness sensitizes man for observation, like a photographic plate.
    Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

    All the familiar horrors we
    Associate with others
    Are coming fast along our way:
    The wind is warning in our tree
    And morning papers still betray
    The shrieking of the mothers.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
