Carbon prints are enormously difficult, time consuming and expensive to make but no other pigment-based process can produce blacks and depth of shadows as dark as the carbon process. Another highly sought-after characteristic of the medium is the depth of the pigmented gelatin layers that render the image with a subtle relief. Black & white or full colour carbon transfer prints can be produced using a single, double or triple transfer method. It is a highly versatile medium that can be transferred to a wide variety of surfaces, in particular paper and glass.

Historically, light sensitivity was procured through the use of potassium dichromate, a chromium salt, now considered to be a harmful carcinogen. My production method uses light sensitive diazo compounds, considered to be a safe alternative to dichromate and more stable. No other chemicals are used in the production of these prints and development of the exposed images takes place in hot water.
