You are correct, Bill, and I was completely wrong - "Type C" can't be
applied to Cibachromes (Ilfochromes as they should now be termed).

This is a term that was in use long before i got my start in commercial work
about 1970. It means chromogenic, which is the process that is almost
universally used to make prints from negatives. I believe it first became
generally used in graphic arts as a way to define getting a print from a
negative instead of simply delivering a chrome. Everything from the best pro
lab to the worst minilab use the same process. Some are just better than
others.
I don't know if it can be applied to Cibas (or Ilfochromes) and be
technically correct, but I always heard Cibas refered to as such and C
prints to mean from a negative.
