C-Type Print

A digital c-type is a photographic print, on light-sensitive paper, that has been exposed using digital technology, rather than traditional analogue (otherwise known as ‘darkroom’) techniques.

Digital c-types are created by exposing the paper using lasers or LEDs rather than a bulb, like in a darkroom. The second part of the traditional process is much the same however: the paper is processed in a photographic developer, followed by bleach fix before being washed to remove the processing chemicals.

We are pleased to offer FREE Shipping on all orders in the UK, and on orders above £500 worldwide. For orders under £500, we offer £20 shipping worldwide.

Please allow 1-10 days for order processing, and an additional 1-14 days for shipping depending on the destination.
