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?

It's the pigmented gelatin layer that you sensitize. See: http://www.alternativephotography.com/wp/processes/carbon-carbro/the-carbon-transfer-process

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.
