The modern processes that dominate today's photographic printmaking can never match a carbon print for purity, richness of color and tone. To make a carbon print: cyan(blue), magenta (red), yellow, and black (CMYK) pigmented images are created by shining ultra violet light through high resolution color separated negatives - made to the exact size of the finished print.

Next, the exposed images are mounted in exact registration onto a specially prepared dimensionally stable image transfer sheet. The unexposed areas of pigmented gelatin are then washed away with hot water, resulting in gelatin relief pigmented images. Finally, all four processed color layers are transferred together onto a sheet of Fabriano or Arches watercolor paper, thus completing the printmaking.
