Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Occupation of manufacturing photosensitive paper for photography. Responsible for processes from chemical formulation to coating, drying, and inspection.
Description
Photosensitive paper manufacturing workers are operators on production lines that produce photosensitive paper for photography or printing. In the factory, they mix chemicals and uniformly coat photosensitive emulsion onto base supports. After coating, they dry the material in drying furnaces at appropriate temperatures and times, then perform winding or cutting. To ensure product quality, they conduct appearance inspections and sensitivity tests to remove defective products. Inspection and maintenance of manufacturing equipment, safety management, and maintenance of clean room environments are also important tasks.
Future Outlook
Due to the普及 of digital cameras and smartphones, demand for traditional photographic photosensitive paper is declining. On the other hand, demand for photosensitive materials for industrial uses such as photoresists for semiconductor lithography is stable, and it is expected that shifts to specialized manufacturing fields and advancements in sophistication will progress.
