Luis,
It is curious that some carbon monochrome prints don't show any relief. I
have attempted to make duplicate prints using the same negative, tissue of
similar formulation, and senzitizer, placed on the same kind of final
support, with the result that some prints showed a lot of relief, others
little or none. I can not understand all the variables, however all other
things being equal a thick layer of lightly pigmented solution will give
more relief than a thin layer of heavily pigmented solution.
