Carbon Transfer Printing

[D. Bryant]

Hi,

I am starting a carbon transfer discussion group on Yanhoo.

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/C...sfer/message/1

Thanks in advance for participating. In time I hope to make this one of the premier sites on the web for information on carbon printing.

And thanks for bearing with me through my net stumbles. I know a lot more about carbon printing than web sites, forums and discussion groups.

Great idea Sandy, I'm 'In Like Flint'.

Don,

Great, and you can put up in the gallery anything you like, regardless of capture, so long as it is a carbon transfer print.

That is what the forum is about -- we discuss carbon without the anal restrictions of type of capture or analog versus digital.

Thanks, Sandy
I'll be joining shortly. Thanks for making a place for both film, and intermediate digital negative images...

Won't that take all the fun out of it?

I'm kidding.

I shall be lurking and soaking up information until such time as I can attempt to create my own carbon transfer prints.

Sandy - I'd be interested. Don't think I'll be doing any carbon printing anytime soon,
but might do some prelimary testing of gelatin with new process colors in the not
too distant future. Unfortunately, no place to put a serious coating machine right now.

I already learned something new about the carbon process, in the Link's section Sandy has a site that has color carbon prints. WOW, touch my eyes!

That would be Tod Gangler of Seattle. He does wonderful color carbon printing.

With time I will be adding more links to some of my favorite carbon printers. But for color, Tod is about as good as it gets.

Wish I could afford one of his editions from the Frida Kahlo series.

Me too... I've been a fan of Frieda since my college days. And that's almost when MSU was still a land grant agricultural school. I never realized that carbon can also be made into color. I knew of dye transfer, but this is different.

I wish I could afford one of yours too.

Drew,

BTW, I just got my new pellicles for the 5X7 National Fotocolor One-Shot installed on the camera. Sweating bullets on the installation this as those fellows are very expensive, and easily broken. Drop the Allen wrench on them and they might be down the drain.

As you might recall from another thread, I did a lot of color separation work in the 1980s with a view camera, but that involved three separate exposures where this only involves one.

I am pretty excited about making some new separations in the next week or so with the big one-shot camera.

.....I know I shouldn't and the rules forbid, but when I reflect on Frida... then naturally Diego, my mind turns to Trotsky and the humanity they both shared with him. A window into a new world.
