Before creating a print from a negative, most photographers will create a contact sheet or a contact print.

A contact print is a photographic picture created from film; here and there from a film negative, and in some cases from a film positive or paper negative. In a darkroom an uncovered and created bit of photographic film or paper is set emulsion side down, in contact with a bit of photographic paper, light is quickly shone through the negative or paper and afterward the paper is produced to uncover the last print.  

The characterizing normal for a contact print is that the subsequent print is indistinguishable size from the first, as opposed to having been anticipated through an enlarger.
