Recreating Tricolor Carbon or Carbro

[SpeedGraphicMan]

Hello,

Does anyone have any experience with Tricolor Carbon or Carbro printing?
Is anyone still printing with either method? Is it possible to do this style of printing in the Darkroom today?

Any information would be appreciated as they are techniques I would like to explore.

Thanks!

Yes. Not easily. Youtube.

I printed with tri-color carbon and carbro in the 1980s/early 90s using analog separation negatives. I don't do color carbon any more but if I did it would sure be with digital separations.

Several years ago I published a three-part piece on carbon printing in Silvershotz. The third part, which I am attaching as a .txt file, was about the history and current practice of color carbon. See the reference section for books about the traditional methods.

I have seen these prints Sandy speak of and they are wonderful.

Bob,

No matter how much you flatter me I am not going to start making color carbon prints again!!

Well if anyone could it would be you... A couple of cold beers and one of Laura's king crab meals would probably work on you.


Maybe your latest student would be able to do it... I am about to try , you would not believe the month I have had with that dam foot problem, it has
slowed me down to almost a crawl, I am wearing slippers at work these days.

I am hoping to get at least a pleasing artistic rendering out of my prints.

Other foot this time
I am seeing doctors but its taking time.
Really takes the creative energy out of ones soul, just want to put the foot up and forget about everything.
