Digital BW, The Print

-Carbro certainly isn't "implied." Nothing is implied. On this very
Yahoo site there was a recent longwinded  bs session about "what
should we call these prints" (as if it mattered in pseudo-ansel
calendar photos). 
One conclusion was that "we" should call them "carbon prints."

I don't think anybody here knows what Brandt would have wanted, or
what would have caused him to "turn over in his grave." Certainly many
of his own prints were mediocre (as were Ansel's at one time)...this
was back when a photographer's vision was more important than
obsession with desitometry or pursuit of hobbiest techniques, such as
carbro.
