The Carbon Print

[sanking]

John Lockhart and I are nearing completion of a new book on carbon printing, called The Carbon Print.

John and I collaborated in writing and editing this comprehensive study of the carbon printing process, that includes detailed working instructions for single and double transfer carbon printing, a chapter on color carbon that provides a modern work flow that takes advantage of pin registration system of assembling the color reliefs, and a full chapter on negative production, including detailed procedures for making digital negatives with photo printers, with particular attention to creation of modifiable QTR profiles. Overall the book has over 200 pages of text and images, including the work of more than two-dozen carbon printers from around the world.

The Carbon Print will initially be available as an e-book or .pdf document, for purchase through John's website, www.johnlockhart.net. On the site there is a page for the book http://www.johnlockhart.net/carbonbook. On that page folks can read the details, download a preview, and sign up to be notified when it is ready for purchase.
