Photographic paper is paper coated with light-sensitive chemicals, used for making photographic prints. Photographic paper differs from photo papers: specially coated papers for use in inkjet or laser printers to make digital prints.

 


Photographic Paper
This overview will pretty much stay with black and white printing papers. There is a fairly wide variety of them, despite the fact that Kodak is quitting manufacture of theirs. I never too much liked Kodak BW papers anyhow.

Photographic paper that provides different grades of contrast when exposed through special filters.
Variable focus lens. ...

Cameras for photographic paper have to be loaded in the dark or under a safelight. They usually take only one sheet of paper at a time. This somewhat laborious process makes photography slow.

If a sheet of photographic paper is exposed through a step tablet, thus creating a series of zones with gradually increasing exposures, normal development produces a print like that shown in Fig. 1.3A.

Fiber-base
Photographic papers without a plastic coating.
Field curvature
A lens aberration or defect that causes the image to be formed along a curve instead of on a flat plane.

Fiber based paper - photographic paper without a resin coating. Processing times are longer than for other papers, but the paper is more archivally permanent.
Field camera - sheet film camera suitable for use in location work.

A C-print is a negative-type color photographic paper which has at least three emulsion layers of light-sensitive silver salts used to produce the photographic image when the appropriate chemicals are applied.

Because of the inherent high contrast of photographic papers, if not controlled, contrast is gained in each generation of a reproduction.

Images taken with digital cameras can be printed on photographic paper, put into digital photo albums or displayed on the Internet.

In order to see what you are doing in your darkroom you need some form of lighting which is not going to affect ( fog ) your photographic paper. Film must be handled in complete darkness.

Photographic paper (this goes for both the kind used in a darkroom as well as inkjet) does not have the range of film. The aforementioned dodging and burning-in techniques were developed precisely because of this limitation.

and made and marketed motion picture film, dry plates and photographic paper. During its first three years, it was difficult for the company to create much brand recognition and, therefore, a sufficient share of the market.

Each film cassette that slips into a camera contains all the things that would normally be in a darkroom: photographic paper, a negative, and a substance to fix the image and one to stop the photo from developing further.

A darkroom is a workspace, usually a separate area in a building or a vehicle, made dark to allow photographers to use light sensitive materials to develop film and photographic paper to make photographic prints.

Graded by numbers (usually 1-5), the contrast grades of photographic papers, enable us to obtain good prints from negatives of varying contrasts.

Contrast Grade refers to a series of numbers and categories that characterize photographic paper.

Contrast Grade Numbers (usually 1-5) and names (soft, medium, hard, extra-hard, and ultrahard) of the contrast grades of photographic papers, to enable you to get good prints from negatives of different contrasts.

Resin Coated Paper: Photographic paper that has thin coating of plastic resin on the backside of the paper and in between the emulsion and paper support.

Rather than exposing the negative on photographic paper, it is instead exposed on another sheet of film. Thus, this new version will be a positive image.

Easel - A device to hold photographic paper flat during exposure.
...

-Chlorobromide paper - photographic paper coated with an emulsion made up of both silver chloride and silver bromide. Used for producing enlargements with a warm, slightly brownish-black image, especially if processed in a warm tone developer.

variable-contrast paper
photographic paper that provides different grades of contrast when exposed through special filters.
variable type gauge
provides a quantitative value for the past characteristic being checked.

When reproduced with reversal processing on negative-type photographic paper, the image appears in the same tones as the actual scene. Neutral Density Filter A neutral density or ND filter.

DEVELOPER - A solution for developing a film or photographic paper - i.e. for turning an exposed film's or paper's latent image into an image that can be seen.
DEVELOPING TANK - Container that is light-proof, used for processing exposed film.

A pinhole camera is simply a box with a tiny hole in one side and some film or photographic paper on the opposite size. If the box is otherwise "light-tight," the light coming through the pinhole will form a real image on the film.

Bromide paper. Light-sensitive photographic paper for enlarging or contact printing. Carries a predominantly silver bromide emulsion. Must be handled in appropriate (usually amber or orange) safe lighting.

A warm-tone printing paper that has silver chloride and silver bromide emulsion A photographic paper coated with an emulsion made up of both silver chloride and silver bromide.

To begin, simply replace the film in your pinhole camera with an unexposed sheet of photographic paper (be sure to do this in very dark conditions). Then begin your exposure as normal.

Double Exposure
Two pictures taken on one frame, or two images printed on one piece of photographic paper.
Drop-in-Loading
Film cassette loading system that advances that new roll of film to the first frame when the camera is closed.

When a film negative (especially from sensitive film) is enlarged onto photographic paper (in order to make a print), the tiny grains get enlarged too, and become visible.

Emulsion - A coating which is sensitive to light. It is found on the surface of film and photographic paper.
EXIF - Exchangeable Image File. This format is used by most digital cameras today.

(*) Underexposure -- Insufficient exposure of film or photographic paper to achieve the desired image.

Uses either raster or vector techniques to expose photographic paper or film. Contrasted with a character setter, which creates only alphanumeric characters by exposing paper or film through a mask with the shapes of the letters engraved in it.

The pages are invariably printed on thick, glossy photographic paper and bound and covered to the highest possible standard, making them objects of desire in their own right, leaving aside the actual content of the photographs.

. Printers at most commercial labs, including those that make prints for most photo-sharing Web sites shine light on traditional silverbased photographic paper to create prints. These work best with sRGB images.

In this context, a particularly elegant method is to make a print with a white border, so that the motif is already perfectly positioned on the photographic paper and the white paper acts as a framing mat.

is in digital format, you can apply a wide variety of special effects to it with image enhancing software. You can then print the photo out on a normal printer or send it to a developing studio which will print it out on photographic paper.

All images are printed on archival photographic paper resulting in vivid, pure colour and exceptional detail that are suitable for museum or gallery display and available for purchase in multiple sizes.

The photo developing stage was done with chemicals, and then the printing was done with negatives and photographic paper. Even though there’s no need for any ‘developing’ these days, the term stuck and is used in our digital age.
