I have looked at some suppliers websites and they sell green carbon transfer tissue. What is this? is it the paper you make your print on?

Generalizations are made because they are Generally true...
It's the pigmented gelatin layer that you sensitize. See: http://www.alternativephotography.co...ansfer-process
“You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.”
― Alexander Den Heijer, Nothing You Don't Already Know
Carbon tissue is the gelatin coating that is poured onto a temporary support. It is then sensitized as Peter stated. If you pour your own tissue you can blend pigments in any combination you wish. In monochrome work it is generally a black of some tone. Warm or cold tone black. You can then add additional pigments to give a tissue a greenish tint. You could make tissue in just about any color you wish.
