Basically, I think a laser scans the paper through a series of RGB filters, duration and/or intensity of exposure at each point dependent on the color value of the pixel from which it's derived. You need enough pixels in your original file to make sure the laser spots are small enough to be imperceptible.
The paper is ordinary photo paper reacting to varying amounts of colored light.
Photos imaged to Kodak paper (like at Ofoto) are imaged with the same or similar equitment.
I like the matte finish too. It's also available at Ritz/Wolf Camera. |
