C type prints  

true black and white paper - better to print black and white on that as colour paper has a slight magenta hue 

transparency - light box with a photograph printed on transparent. Makes the image really pop compared to a print I guess, seems a bit tacky to me - also very expensive - 800£ for one the size of half a door. 

darkroom - drum scanners - he explained that they got it exactly perfect when they first released the software which was why they still ran it on OS 9, contrary to what Matt F from Genesis told us that they never updated the drivers so once the computers die, no more drum scans. Which is a shame because seeing the process up close it looked like a good idea, he explained that the film goes in a fluid so there cant be any defects, as the fluid goes into any scratches and takes away any dust 

I would love to work in a place like this as a retoucher/printer when I finish uni. I need to look into an apprenticeship.
