As in any analog process, every optical "pass" degraded the picture, just like a photocopy of a photocopy (although the degradation can be greater with contact printing than with optical printing).[7]
The "can" in "can be greater..." is a little ambiguous. A quick read might give the impression that optical printing is generally better (although I don't think the the editor meant it this way).
According to the cite, only when contact between the elements is compromised does the quality fall below that of optical printing.
So I changes it to read:
As in any analog process, every optical "pass" degraded the picture, just like a photocopy of a photocopy. Properly performed contact printing generally creates less degradation, however, under certain conditions the degradation can be greater with contact printing than with optical printing.[7]
