Carbon Transfer Prints

[Andrew O'Neill]

Yes, you can produce carbon prints by very simple means... once you get over the learning curve. I produce using both digital negs and in-camera and digital negs. Leaning more and more to digi negs for their seemingly unlimited creative potential. I have an Epson 4000 that is 10 years old I bought from my school cheap. I use refillable ink cartridges which save me a lot of money. For transparency, I use what is called Silkjet. It's exactly the same as Pictorico, I'm sure, just a different label (made in Japan). I pick it up at a local screen printing supplier.

I use only in camera negatives and yes you can use x-ray film and a contact frame in the sun. Digital negative one day? Once you get set up the cost is only time. I even use x ray film as my reusable tissue substrate. Carbon is an amazing process for those who dedicate the time to understand what is going on. :-)

Digital negative. Originally captured on TMY-2 8x10. Huge circular saw blade at abandoned shake and shingle mill near Maple Ridge, BC.

Looks like a beautiful print, Andrew...

Yes, it's pretty nice andreios. Relief is very very subtle.

Digital negative made from DSLR capture of South Lawn Bld., Riverview Hospital. Went a little heavy with Venetian Red in the glop, but it doesn't look too bad.

Damn that's nice! And so symbolic...

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the government has slowly been shutting this mental health facility down. Some of these buildings are old and quite interesting. It also has an amazing arboretum which is a delight to photograph. Won't be long until the grounds are covered in condos.

It is a wonderful image Andrew, Venetion Red is subtle looking on my iPad Air, I would say it just right!
