photographic prints

Paper-based captured images

Photographic prints are images produced on paper or similar material from photographic negatives, slides, or digital files.

The term distinguishes physical photographs from negatives, transparencies, or digital images: The gallery exhibited original photographic prints from the 1940s.

Prints vary in process and finish—glossy, matte, archival—affecting appearance and longevity.
