But there's often a distinction in use of the term: When we speak of
printing out PAPER,the implication is usually a factory paper of a classic
type that prints out by exposure alone (of which Centennial remains the
only one still on the market ????).
An EMULSION, on the other hand, such as ziatype or whatever, mixed by us
or perhaps even available in liquid form to be coated on whatever paper
by the user, would more accurately be a printing out PROCESS. Once the
paper is coated, it is, strictly speaking I suppose, a printing out paper,
but Diana may have been right the first time, in that there is this
distinction.
(I'd imagine Liam's "Printing Out Paper" is a sort of hybrid -- the PAPER
isn't POP until it's coated.)
The concept *printing out* means image without development (we often refer
to "some printing-out effect" even in an essentially develop-out process)
but the nouns are are variable.
