<a href="http://www.w-co.co.uk/lambda_printing.php">LAMBDA PRINT</a> - is the process of using <strong>lasers</strong> to expose a chromogenic photo material. It can also include transparent photosensitive materials (Duratrans).<br>
Since you are still exposing onto a chromogenic material some people might still refer to them as a c-print which would still be technically correct whether they meant color or chromogenic, but using Lambda would automatically imply that it came from a digital source.<br>

I've seen them and they take up a whole room! You can feed a continuous roll of 40" wide paper into and it will expose the paper, pull it through the developer chemicals, and spit it out the other end. We used to call Lamda prints 'Durst' prints like calling tissue paper 'Kleenex'<br>

There you go, that's my whole take on it!</p>
