Bromide paper

SWPP Photographic Glossary

Bromide paper is a type of photographic printing paper coated with a silver bromide emulsion. It is widely used in black-and-white darkroom photography for creating high-quality prints from negatives. The silver bromide emulsion is sensitive to light, allowing for sharp images, rich tonal range, and fine detail. Bromide paper comes in various finishes, such as glossy, matte, or fiber-based, making it a versatile choice for portrait, fine art, and traditional photographic printing.
