Let me some fuss: the carbon (tissue, process, etc.)

originally was the name of an early version which used carbon

powder as a paint in the gelatine. The pigment (paper,process)

is working by (mainly) watercolours.

The everyday language is not scientific but full with customs.

So, both name are meaning the both processes.

A better trick if the same name can mean a few basicly

different processes. Eg. the chromotypia is a special finishing/painting process for photographs from the 1860-s,

and a printing process, to make color postcards (about the

first quarter of this century).

But all classical farces where founded on misunderstandings...
