Not only is it much easier to use photographic paper but in many
respects photographic papers enhance the relief effects of carbon
images. This is especially evident when a carbon image is placed
on a smooth matte-surface final support. On rough surface water
color papers there is very little visual relief. I love the relief
qualities of carbon photographs, in fact, this quality, along with
the unlimited range of colors possible, represent the major
attractions of the process.
