Photographic Contact Printer

A Photographic Contact Printer is a type of equipment used in the process of developing and finishing photographs. It is specifically classified under the supply class Photographic Developing And Finishing Equipment, which falls under the supply group Photographic Equipment.

A Photographic Contact Printer is used to create contact prints, which are direct reproductions of a negative onto photographic paper. This process involves placing the negative directly onto the photographic paper and exposing it to light. The result is a print that is the same size as the negative.

Contact printers are commonly used in darkrooms or photo labs for producing proof prints or small-sized prints. They are typically equipped with a light source, a glass plate or frame to hold the negative and paper in place, and a mechanism to control the exposure time.

Photographic Contact Printers are essential tools for photographers and photo enthusiasts who want to create high-quality prints from their negatives. They offer a convenient and efficient way to produce prints without the need for enlargers or other complex equipment.

Overall, a Photographic Contact Printer is a valuable piece of equipment in the field of photographic developing and finishing, allowing photographers to easily create prints directly from their negatives.
