I just finished an experiment in carbon printing where I tried using my home
made light box to expose the tissue. It works, but is rather slow. This is
VERY approximate, but it appears that a 1 minute exposure to direct sunlight is
about the same as a 1 hour exposure on my light box.
The tubes are the standard tubes that came with the fixtures. I'm assuming
that using UV tubes would improve on this considerably, and plan to build a unit
specifically designed with alt processes in mind.

The answer to this is yes!
