4. Colour C-Type Prints

C-type prints are a colour print made on light sensitive paper using a chromogenic process. Rather than inks onto paper, chemicals within the paper react with exposure to light and so the resulting image is contained within the paper’s emulsion. Also referred to as Silver Halide Crystal prints, C type prints are now widely accepted as the standard for producing photographic colour prints. Our C types have a Pearl finish.
