enlargers
Photo printing devices
Enlargers are devices or people that make things larger.
In photography, an enlarger is equipment that projects a negative onto light-sensitive paper to produce prints larger than the original.
More generally, anything that enlarges qualifies: The new highway served as an enlarger of suburban sprawl.
The photographic sense dominated before digital imaging.
