Sensitized Diazotype Film

Sensitized Diazotype Film is a type of photographic film that is used in the diazo printing process. It is classified under the supply class Photographic Supplies, which falls under the supply group Photographic Equipment.

Diazotype film is a light-sensitive material that is coated with a diazo compound. When exposed to ultraviolet light, the diazo compound undergoes a chemical reaction, resulting in a blue dye formation. This blue dye is then used to create high-quality reproductions of original documents or drawings.

Sensitized Diazotype Film is commonly used in architectural and engineering industries for producing blueprints, as well as in graphic design and art fields for creating high-contrast prints. It offers excellent image quality, sharpness, and durability.

When using Sensitized Diazotype Film, it is important to handle it in a darkroom or under safe light conditions to avoid premature exposure. The film is typically exposed using a diazo printer or a large-format camera equipped with ultraviolet light sources.

After exposure, the film is developed using a diazo developer, which removes the unexposed diazo compound and leaves behind the blue dye image. The developed film can then be used for various applications, such as making multiple copies or reproductions.

Overall, Sensitized Diazotype Film is a versatile and reliable photographic supply that is widely used in industries that require high-quality reproductions of documents or drawings.
