Photographic printing is the process of producing a final image for viewing, usually on sensitized paper from a previously prepared photographic negative.

The process consists of three major steps, performed in a photographic darkroom or within an automated photo printing machine:

  1. Exposure of the image onto the sensitized paper using a contact printer or enlarger
  2. Development of the latent image through a multistep chemical immersion process.
  3. Texturing and drying of the final print.
