(...) [papier] sur lequel est étendue une émulsion sensible à la lumière. (...)

OBS

L'expression "papier sensible", de même que son équivalent anglais "sensitized paper" est souvent employée par les auteurs pour désigner "papier photographique". Nous ne pouvons cependant pas la déclarer synonyme, faute de pouvoir affirmer qu'elle relève exclusivement du domaine de la photographie, et que son sens n'est pas plus large.

OBS

"Papier support photographique" a été normalisé par l'ISO et l'AFNOR.
