The Effect on Definition of the Stage at Which Reduction is Performed in Reduction-Printing Processes

When reduction prints are made by a process involving duplicating positives and negatives, the size reduction can be made at any convenient stage. Color prints have been prepared from color negatives at a reduction of two to one and ranked for definition. The reduction was made at a different stage for each print, and it was found that, for best definition, the reduction should be postponed to as late a stage in the process as is feasible.
