Ilfochrome is a photographic printing process that produces high-quality color prints from color transparencies, also known as slides. It uses a unique dye-bleach technique, where the image is created by selectively removing color dyes from a light-sensitive paper. This results in vibrant colors and excellent detail, making it popular among professional photographers and artists. The process involves several steps, including exposure, development, and bleaching. Ilfochrome prints are known for their longevity and resistance to fading, which is why they are often used for fine art reproductions and archival purposes. The prints are typically glossy and have a distinctive look that appeals to many collectors.
