This is a basic demonstration of how to do carbon transfer printing. Not complete by any means but it gives you the idea. Made many years ago but still useful.
LOL Happy 2020! After a two decade hiatus from "traditional" printing I am happily re embracing it. Although I've developed countless negatives and prints over my 30+ years of professional photography, I have never had the privilege of carbon printing and for the first time in a very, very long time I am excited to "discover" it. I will be referencing your tutorial this year. Thank you from 6 years in the future!
@@marhoudibtissam2399 I use fixed out photo paper for a lot of my work. For my coating on watercolor paper I use Liquitex Matte Medium to coat the paper diluted one to one. Generally 3 coats or 4 depending on the paper used.
Thank you Jim :) I was so confused about the steps involved in Carbon prints. But aftr watching your video am all grinning with happiness!!!!! Thank u so much. I wish i could come for your exhibition... but we live in different countries :)
I have some ideas for a follow up video in the future. We will be moving to a new location the first of 2016 and I'll be setting up my first real darkroom in our new home. I'll expand on some of the steps. So thanks everyone and stay tuned.
All of my images are shot on large and ultra large format film. I develop the negatives in a Pyro developer and expose my shadows for detail and control my highlights in development. I can print negatives with over 12 zones.
Paul, thanks for the question. Sorry for the late answer. If I was to do a test strip I'd do a three piece test strip so I could see more of the image. You need to determine the sensitizer strength first because the exposure would tell you about your blacks. Minimum exposure for maximum black. The sensitizer controls contrast. I never do test strips, I always print the entire negative at my best guess. My notes that I've kept over the years usually get me there first try.
