  2. Whiteness (colorimetry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiteness_(colorimetry)

    In colorimetry, whiteness is the degree to which a surface is white. An example of its use might be to quantitatively compare two pieces of paper which appear white viewed individually, but not when juxtaposed. The International Commission on Illumination describes it in the following terms:

  3. Photographic fixer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photographic_fixer

    The print must then be rinsed in water to removed the fixer. Photographic fixer is a mixture of chemicals used in the final step in the photographic processing of film or paper. The fixer stabilises the image, removing the unexposed silver halide remaining on the photographic film or photographic paper , leaving behind the reduced metallic ...

    Paper Coating 1) The paper or board 2) The first layer of coating to even out the surface 3) A second layer for an even smoother and whiter surface. Pigments that absorb in the yellow and red part of the visible spectrum can be added. As the dye absorbs light, the brightness of the paper will decrease, unlike the effect of an optical ...

  5. Gum printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gum_printing

    In exposing the paper, the thinnest parts of the negatives will allow the most exposure and cause the areas to be darker. The densest parts of the negative require more exposure. The exposed print is then developed gradually in a succession of trays of still water (approximately ten-minute intervals) at room temperature until the bath water is ...

  6. Relief printing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_printing

    Much greater pressure is then needed to force the paper into the channels containing the ink, so a high-pressure press is normally needed. Intaglio techniques include engraving, etching, and drypoint. In the planographic family of printing, the entire surface of the matrix is flat, and some areas are treated to create the print image. [1]

  7. Optical brightener - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_brightener

    A white surface treated with an optical brightener can emit more visible light than that which shines on it, making it appear brighter. The blue light emitted by the brightener compensates for the diminishing blue of the treated material and changes the hue away from yellow or brown and toward white.

  8. Chromogenic print - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromogenic_print

    A chromogenic print, also known as a C-print or C-type print, [1] a silver halide print, [2] or a dye coupler print, [3] is a photographic print made from a color negative, transparency or digital image, and developed using a chromogenic process. [4]

  9. Bleed (printing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleed_(printing)

    Full bleed is printing from one edge of the paper to the other without the standard borders by which most personal printers are limited. This is useful for printing brochures, posters, and other marketing materials. Often the paper is trimmed after printing to ensure the ink runs fully to the edge and does not stop short of it.
