Not necessarily so. There are a numbers of films/papers, most with
names such as DAYLIGHT something, that are VERY low in sensitivity
and must be exposed under UV lights.
I always wanted to try using some of them with continuous-tone
developers to see if they would work as alternatives to contact
printing under enlargers. I would think that would be great
especially in demos to large groups, or with kids. Anyone knows more
about these materials?
