Chromogenic print
A chromogenic print, also known as a C-print, is a traditional photographic print created using color chemicals during the developing process. It involves exposing photographic paper to light through a film or digital image, then processing it with chemicals that develop the color layers, resulting in a vibrant, full-color image. This technique was commonly used for commercial photographs, such as portraits, advertisements, and art prints, due to its ability to produce rich, detailed, and true-to-life colors with a smooth gradation. It remains valued for its quality and stability in professional photographic printing.
