Ilfochrome

SWPP Photographic Glossary

Ilfochrome, formerly known as Cibachrome, is a photographic printing process that produces high-quality positive colour prints directly from transparencies (slides). It is renowned for its vivid colours, excellent archival stability, and sharpness, making it a preferred choice for professional photographers and fine art printing.

This direct positive printing method bypasses the need for a negative, preserving the original transparency's colour fidelity and contrast. Understanding Ilfochrome is valuable for photographers interested in traditional colour printing techniques and those seeking prints with long-lasting, vibrant results.
