c-print photography

What is the process involved regarding c-print photography? Any information that you might be able to provide is greatly appreciated.

<p>

Thank you.

Without any more detailed information, this is hard to say. The only

thing that comes to my mind offhand is c for cyanotype. Is that what

you mean?

As I understand it. The process is something like a color laser

printer. The lasers "print" on a RA-4 paper and it is developed from

there. I would like to know more about this process

Last I knew, C-prints are Cibachromes. This is the process of printing

color slides on Ilford Ciba paper. They are the richest color, longest

lasting (extremely stable). The prints almost take on a life of their

own being almost 3D.

Cheers,

I have also heard C-print as describing cibachrome prints. They are

quite beautiful! They remind me of the kind of colors you see during

an eclipse. I have seen several over the years in an annual exhibit

in Oberlin, Ohio called the Annual 6-State Photography Exhibit that is

sponsored by the FAVA gallery. I have heard, though, that not many

photographers work in it these days because of the extreme health

hazards, in particular, that it often causes sterility in men. And

you will not find it commercially available.

<p>A C-Print is a RA-4 photo from a negative or digital file.</p>

<p>Photographs made from Endura or Fujicrystal Archive are C-Prints. If your one hour lab still uses a wet process to make your prints then that is a classic example of a C-Print. This was the most common type of color printing found in mini-labs. Dry process is making big gains though.</p>

<p>BTW, R-Type or Reversal is Cibachrome.</p>

Kodak introduced a chromogenic paper with the name Type-C in the 1950s, and then discontinued the name several years later. The name Type-C and C-print have remained in popular use since this time. The chemistry used to develop chromogenic prints today is known as RA-4.

Since that is the only question that Kim- asked in 10 years and he hasn't come back, I don't think he was that interested.
