More about contact printing, from our friend Wikipedia:

"A contact print is a photographic image produced from film; sometimes from a film negative, and sometimes from a film positive or paper negative. In a darkroom an exposed and developed piece of film or photographic paper is placed emulsion side down, in contact with a piece of photographic paper, light is briefly shone through the negative or paper and then the paper is developed to reveal the final print. 

The defining characteristic of a contact print is that the resulting print is the same size as the original, rather than having been projected through an enlarger."
