My God it Works!

Hi Bill,
I almost asked if you were still considering carbon-on-glass in my last post It's a natural for you. Glass would be a perfect support for maintaining the relief. I know around 100% more about carbon tonight than I did three days ago. You probably already know what I just found out. It's possible to do color 'carbon' printing, including three-color. Pretty cool.

Denise and all,
Yes, in adition to glass, I am all about in-camera color seps. The many possabilities for color-carbon have not escaped me. I have even done some experiments in Pt/Pd Tissue. Possible, but VERY pricey.
Actualy, Jim Browning has suggested that a three-emulsion system could be built with one each sensitive to Blue,Green and Red . Then pigment could be added-Yellow, Magenta , and Cyan, respetively. This would essentialy be a three-color (4-color with black) 4-color carbon tissue process,. But the backing would not be reqired. These coatings could be applied is several diffrent ways.
I have a Big Mouth (or overactive kekboard fingers). But my hands are full right now with developing my Ortho emulsion.

another image

Thanks for the responses!

The image is a contact print on Oriental FB MG Warmtone, no filter. Great stuff.

Here's another test image, developed in HC110 1:20. Shorter times (4-6 min vs. 12-20 in the D76) but perhaps too contrasty. Still learning to judge the base fog. Also turned off red safelights for most of developing & handling time, which reduced fog somewhat.

The real trick, however, is learning to write in reverse on the back of the emulsion!

Anybody know how to rotate an attached image to vertical?

Your scanner software should rotate it for you as one of the options.

Very nice result.
