Silver Halide film is similar to traditional photographic film that uses a silver emulsion on a polyester base. Silver Halide is the film type used in the camera to make the master film. Silver Halide is the most light sensitive of all the films used, hence it can record a greater variance of density and contrast present in the original material. Silver halide is the only film that is considered archival. Properly processed and stored it has a Life Expectancy (LE) of 500 years. Silver film gives the highest resolution, and is the choice where longevity and high quality are paramount. Silver Halide print films are of two types: Polarity Reversing - Produces a positive image. Direct Duplicating - Produces a negative image.
