Learning Event 1
DESCRIBE THE CONVENTIONAL PROCESS OF PRINT PROCESSING
1.
The Conventional Process.
a. Historically the oldest of the processes, the conventional print process consists of these steps:
(1) Develop
(2) Stop
(3) Fix
(4) Wash
(5) Dry
b. A conventional paper (not water-resistant) consists of a silver halide emulsion coated on a

c. The exposed silver halide crystals are converted to black metallic
