Why are printers constantly redesigned with no improvements?

Well, "print" seems a term that got adopted long after I was toying around with developing film into light-resistant negatives and developing photo paper into photographs. Maybe it started when other methods were used to translate negatives to other media, like scanners for negatives, so "prints" were negatives to paper to differentiate other means of differently storing negatives. Developer is used on film following by a fixer, water/wetting bath, and drying. The same process is used (developer, fixer, wash, dry) for developing (printing) negatives onto paper. Whether film or paper, they're both use developer hence they are both developed. I suppose after 50 years the terminology changed a bit. To me, you developed film, and you developed paper. I only got into photography because of my dad back around 50+ years ago, and that lasted only a few years. |
