Contact print/sheet


Photographic contact prints are images that are created by placing one or more film negatives on a sheet of photographic paper and then exposing the paper to light. This process typically takes place under a sheet of glass. In a classic wet darkroom, the first step in the printing process of an image is typically the creation of a contact sheet.
