One of the reasons I am so fond of carbon is that the print looks
almost as good dry as wet. There is some dry-down so you have to
compensate for density difference but there is very little if any
loss of depth in the shadows with carbon, not so with the other
processes I use, mainly vandyke and kallitype.
