SILVER GELATIN PRINTS

A tried-and-true method developed in 1871, silver gelatin printing is an example of "latent" printing, in which an image is activated by light, but is not revealed until submerged in a developer solution. In this case, a negative image is projected onto paper treated with light-sensitive chemicals: silver halide suspended in gelatin. A series of chemical baths will subsequently reveal the latent image, halt the development, remove its sensitivity to light, and fine-tune contrast.

CHROMOGENIC PRINTS

A chromogenic print, also known as a C-print or C-type print, a silver halide print, or a dye coupler print, is a photographic print made from a color negative, transparency, or digital image, and developed using a chromogenic process.

INTAGLIO PRINTS

An Intaglio Print is the group of printing and printmaking techniques in which an image is incised into a surface and the incised line or sunken area holds the ink below the main surface and then transferred to real pulp paper in an etching press. A key characteristic of an Intaglio Print is that no two prints are identical, though many of the same elements may be present.
