Traditional photography is based on silver-halide chemistry. Historically, the ability to capture and keep photographic images became a reality in the 1830s when William Fox Talbot discovered a technique for preventing images from fading over short periods of time, and Louis Daguerre published his method for making daguerreotypes. Color film for consumers became available when Kodak’s Kodachrome entered the market in 1935. As for instant photography, Polaroid Corporation put the first color film on the market in 1963, which was followed by the development of other types of instant photography. Throughout
the years, photography has continuously improved. One important innovation was the processing method invented by 3M in 1964 that also led to the development of dry-silver color technology by 3M in 1986. Also in 1986, Fuji Photo Film announced the development of diffusion-transfer-type color thermal development silver-halide material technology, putting it on the market the next year.
