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] They are composed of three layers of gelatin, each containing an emulsion of silver halide, which is used as a light-sensitive material, and a different dye coupler of subtractive color which together, when developed, form a full-color image.[3][4][5]
