About the carbro printing process
The Carbro Process derives its name from the cross between carbon and bromide prints, hence carbro. Carbon and Carbro both use carbon as a pigment, giving the prints a pigment that is permanent for hundreds of years. The tonal range is very long, providing faithful reproduction of gradation in the negative.
Carbro is a variation of the carbon process. It uses a bromide print as an intermediate step. Carbro will give excellent separation of detail in the shadow areas of the print, much better than is possible with matte-surface techniques. The gelatin layer is thicker in the shadow (darker) values. This gives the shadow a slight gloss, and increases the separation of shadow tones.
The layering of the carbon/gelatin image gives a relief effect not available in any other black & white printing form.
