Photographic printing is basically the reproduction of a finished photo on either paper or other media for viewing. The paper is typically exposed to a digital image, a film negative, or a digital photograph file electronically projected utilizing a digital camera or other digital photography machines. It then undergoes a variety of processing steps such as imaging, printing, binding, coloring, and finally framing. The final output is the finalized printed image. Photo printing uses different methods to transfer photos to paper which is typically either inkjet or thermoplastic. In general, print shops will utilize inkjet technology because it is faster and less expensive than traditional photo printing processes but both types of printers produce results with similar prints. Print shops commonly utilize three types of ink technologies in their photo printing operations. They are referred to as metallic ink, photo stretchy, and foil stamping.
