Tricky process. I would suggest taking a workshop with one of the many talented practitioners here like Sandy King, Jim Fitzgerald, Tri Tan, Vaughn Hutchins-probably missing a couple.
Thanks,

But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep"
I do not understand the question? Research this forum. All of the answers are here. Take a workshop if you are serious and I mean serious as this process is not for the faint at heart.
Dave, one starts with a carbon tissue. Bostick and Sullivan re-introduced a pre-made carbon tissue (gelatin, sugar and pigment on a thin material), and it can be ordered through them on their website. Most of us make our own tissue as it gives one the control of print color, relief, etc. It can also be made to best match one's darkroom conditions (temp, RH, etc).
A negative of good strong contrast is where one should start. With the B&S tissue this could be a negative usually printed with no filter onto silver gelatin paper, or contrastier. Home-made tissue meant to achieve a high relief often asks for more contrast from the negative than silver gelatin paper can easily handle.
As the name applies, one does transfer the image from the tissue to a final support. Fixed-out photopaper (fiber, glossy is my choice) is a good material to transfer onto...and is easiest to learn.
Carbon printing is a project, to put it mildly. Not all that difficult, once one gets the general idea of the process (this is where workshops do come in handy). Someone who has worked in several different alt processes should be able to do carbon without many problems.

As Kirk said, there are some people in CA. I'm too far away physically. I taught myself the process, never took a workshop. If you are determined, you can do the same. Lots of info on the net. Sign up over at Sandy King's carbon transfer yahoo group. Pretty much any film can work... even HP5! Paper? Pretty much anything, providing it can stand up to hot water development. Good luck!

I just drove by your front door yesterday (Hwy 99). I occasionally give workshops in Hayward (East SF Bay Area). No dates set up right now. Within a year, I'll be giving one-on-one workshops up here in the redwoods.
The yahoo group is a good one.
