I think Manufacturing means converted raw material in to finish Goods , so printing of photographs on photo sheet is type of service ,composition will not be applicable .

In my view, the process would be service if the photoroll is given for development and printing to the photographer. What i have understood from the facts is that a plain sheet is being printed then what emerges out of the process is printed paper (photograph) which is absolutely different in name and characteristics from the original paper.
