Inkjet

These prints are made from digital scans of the original negatives or directly from digital files using archival inks and papers. They are often corrected for scratches and dust that appear on traditional darkroom prints. The quality and durability has quickly caught up to, and even surpassed, traditional darkroom methods.

Silver Gelatin

The technology for making these prints has not changed in over 60 years. These prints are made in the darkroom directly from the original black and white negative using chemicals and fiber papers. They are the most valuable to collectors both due to the antiquity of the printing method as well as due to the handling of the original negative; this method is quickly becoming a lost art.

C-type

The most common type of color photograph, printed from a chromogenic color negative; consists of dyes within gelatin layers on a plastic-coated paper base.

Lightjet

This method uses a machine by the same name to produce very high quality impressions. Three digitally controlled lasers simultaneously expose the photo-sensitive paper (or back-lit transparency medium) with red, green, and blue light. Whereas xerography and inkjet printing employ a halftone process to reproduce digital images on paper, LightJet is a true photographic continuous tone process.
