While most photograms are made with standard black and white photographic paper, the Photogram is a process that lends itself to experimenting and in terms of materials, the limiting factor is only one's imagination.

Cibachrome or Ilfochrome: These are materials that will produce colour positive prints. If we use it for a photogram the colours will reproduce as they are in the object.

Also unlike negative materials, an area that receives more light will record as white in the print rather than black as in the negative processes. It is an expensive material and the materials and chemicals materials are less readily available but can be purchased through a supplier of photographic made by Ilford. Like colour negative paper, it has to be handled in darkness, and because of this it is difficult if not impossible to see where and how the objects are placed on the paper: it becomes a random and tactile experience. However if you want some control, the objects can be placed on a sheet of glass in the light and the paper slipped under in darkness for the exposure, but direct contact with the paper is lost and the image may not be as sharp as one where objects had contact with the paper. Again colour filters through the enlarger can be used to alter or correct the colour.
