I did a lot of printing with three-color carbon and carbro from between
1982-90, using hand-coated cyan, magenta and yellow tissues. My work
was done with both in-camera separations and separations from
transparencies. These processes, especially with hand-coated materials,
are rather complicated and incredibly challenging, but also quite
rewarding when the success happens. Unfortunately, my failure rate was
very high. Most of my current printing with carbon is in monochrome but
I still do some occasional printing in color.
