DEF

(...) [papier] sur lequel est étendue une émulsion sensible à la lumière. (...) On peut distinguer les différents papiers photographiques par: le format; l'épaisseur du support: mince, carte ou cartoline; le grade: doux, normal, contraste, etc.; la surface: brillante, mate ou semi-mate, lisse ou grenue; la teinte: blanc, crème, chamois, ivoire ou autre couleur monochrome.

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.
