Black and white photographs can be printed onto almost any surface- not just paper.
Generally, the process involves painting a special silver gelatin emulsion onto the
surface, in the dark room. The surface is exposed to film, taken through developer
and fixer, and dried.

After working as a research professor in molecular biology, I chose B/W photography as a second career. I use Mamiya medium format cameras and Kodak PX 125 film. Although I print digitally [Epson 2400] onto fine art paper, much of my work deals with silver gelatin printing onto glass, stones, shells, and other three dimensional objects. Both of these printing surfaces [paper vs. 3D] require very different types of photographs.
