What is "photographic printing"?
Photographic printing is the process of creating physical copies of images from photographic negatives or digital files. In traditional methods, this involves projecting the negative onto light-sensitive paper and then developing the paper using chemical solutions to produce a visible print. In digital printing, the image is printed directly onto paper using an inkjet or laser printer. Photographic printing allows for the reproduction and sharing of images in tangible form, whether as standard prints, enlargements, or other formats.
