Photographic printing is the process of producing a physical image from a photographic negative or digital file. This can be done using various methods, including traditional darkroom techniques and modern digital printing technologies. The final print can be made on different materials, such as paper or canvas, and can vary in size and quality. In traditional photographic printing, light-sensitive paper is exposed to light through a negative, creating a latent image that is then developed using chemicals. In contrast, digital printing involves using inkjet or laser printers to transfer an image directly from a digital file, allowing for greater flexibility and faster production times.
