A type C print, C-print, or Kodak C-print, is a color photographic print made on negative-type color photographic paper which has at least three emulsion layers of light-sensitive silver salts. Type C is a negative-to-positive chromogenic print. The most common type C print process is RA-4. It is the most common format of color photographs.

The exposure phase of a type C print may be accomplished with a traditional photographic enlarger, as well as with digital exposure techniques such as a Durst Lambda or Océ LightJet. These digital techniques use red, green, and blue lasers, yielding a digital C print (sometimes called a Lambda print or LightJet print) after processing. The Lambda system has the capability of correcting paper sensitivity errors which would be impossible with conventional printing methods.^{[citation needed]}
