Sensitized Paper.—Various papers for photographic printing, the paper receiving treatment after making. The emulsions are made and applied to the surface of the papers, or the paper is passed through a solution of sensitive salts. The developing after printing is done in another solution or in water, according to the preparation of the paper.
