So instead of shooting a neg I should have a neg made later anyway? This reminds me of why my hot rod bmw is so in demand. Hydraulic breaks, hydraulic steering, manual transmission. Where as my 2 other BMWs are all modern electric drive by wire or electric motor assist. 2 are boring but stupid fast. One is still stupid fast but I can feel every bit of analog feed back in my feet and my hands and my ears.
carbro is a carbon transfer. One can do many layers of transfer and build up thinkness. So I can pay a lab to do the lab work or do it my Self and have it still be photography. Pictorialism which is basically my job everyday is a process the evolves phototography it is not Photography. Since I do that at a pretty high level as my job, I’m not really interested in doing it more when it’s my time. As I said before at some point there is a reason film is staging a comeback. Hell they are even making direct positive motion picture film again. DF96 is amazing stuff and I have upper 5 figures worth of digital still and motion cameras to sit next to my Wisner 8x10, Yashicamat LM, Mamiya 645 (which also has a digital back.)

I haven't done carbro or carbon printing myself (they're related, I
think, but different?), but I hear lots of people find digital
inter-negatives the *key* to doing those processes these days, which in
turn means they can be done easily (well; as easily as they can be done
from any other starting point) from a digital capture.
But yeah, the direct-positive paper does actually look like it could be fun!
