^ELLINGTON BROMIDE PAPERS are manufactured
in a great variety of surfaces and in six distinct kinds :
Platino-Matt, Ordinary, Carbon, Chamois, Cream
Crayon and Enammo.
Some explanation is necessary to make clear the exact meaning
of each of these designations.
The first bromide paper manufactured possessed a shiny
surface—but by no means as glossy as the glossy bromides manu-
factured to-day. After a time a demand arose for a perfectly matt
paper, similar in appearance to platinum paper, which had always
been noted for its natural, non-glossy surface. To meet this
demand manufacturers discovered a means of avoiding the shiny
effect, which was until then characteristic of all bromide papers,
and a paper was produced with a matt surface, which was called
" PLATINO MATT " Bromide. To distinguish the older type of
paper the latter was termed " ORDINARY." These designations
are still used, although the papers themselves have undergone
many changes for the better.
PLATINO-MATT BROMIDE PAPERS are manu-
factured with a matt surface entirely free from sheen. They are
supplied in the following grades :—Special Smooth, Smooth,
