Carbon Transfer video on youtube!

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Some of you know that I have a solo show opening in about a week and I thought it would be nice to show those who may be interested in learning more about carbon transfer printing how I do it. Not complete and I always have felt that one needs to take a workshop from a qualified teacher who can inspire and show the student the finer points of carbon printing. This give you the idea. It is a little long but then I seem to talk a lot!!!

Its not an expensive way to print, except in time. I say give it a try, even a 4x5 print can be a very expressive little beauty. So all you really need is Yupo or some base for the tissue, Ammonium or potassium dichromate and a final support, either fixed out paper or acrylic (or gelatin) sized watercolour. A light helps but an inexpensive 300W Osram Ultra Vitalux will be ok and fast for 4x5 and 5x7. Everything else is easily available in the supermarket, art shop, hardware store or Binn Inn bulk food type shops.

Thanks for this, I think, e. g. I hope that was the last flake of snow to start the avalanche - I think I already have all that is needed - now I need only time and practice..
Also, thanks for showing the possibility of actually using film as tissue support - I was unable to find (reasonable amount) of YUPO round these parts, this opens a great possibility.
