Chromogenic prints, often referred to as c-type’ prints are prints produced using chromogenic materials and processes. Chromogenic materials, such as film or photographic paper, are composed of one or many layers of silver halide emulsion. Along with dye couplers, and in combination with processing chemistry, these chemicals form visible dyes. Full color chromogenic materials are comprised of multiple layers of emulsion that are sensitized to different wavelengths of light and of which the three main dye layers – cyan, magenta and yellow – together form a full color image. The first commercially available chromogenic print process available was Kodacolour, which was introduced by Kodak in January 1942.
