Thank you Colin.
MDR, thank you - lots of details over at Flickr. The calotype is on Canson Marker, the salt print is a bespoke making of Ruscombe Chateau Vellum 85g (not the standard 100g). The hunt for the good and right paper is a never ending quest… (specially for calotypes!)

Personally I think that reading everything you can and understanding the carbon transfer process is a must. I only print carbon transfer. You need to "see" how it is done and do it yourself. If you take a workshop from a good teacher you will have all you need. Then you have to print, print print.

Thanks for posting this article. Always nice to read as much as one can about the process they work in. I disagree with some of the information especially the part about buying commercial tissue. But now that is just the way I work.

Thanks all, it'll handy to be able to read through that book/article on my phone too.

I like these a lot! Especially sean #19 for the "one sharp eye" look and the fractal defects.

@Nasser: your pic made me curious. What exactly does it convey? Thumbs up! :-)

@slantface: Remarkable portraits! Lovely contrasts! :-)

these two images are from the same negative.

For some reason the inking was very, very hard to do, so I decided to experiment with several colours at the same time....

Full negative 9x12 - painted with light.
.
Sinar Norma. Universal heliar.



and then I cropped the negative to a square - and played even more with the colours....
