In my darkroom days, I did some experimenting with very slight split toning, like e.g. warm shadows and cool lights, or cool shadows and warm lights. I would like to be able to do that in an archival quality with carbon. As I understand, there is no other way than to add other "things" to the carbon, right? If I remember well, people started out adding dyes to carbon inks, which doesn't sound very archival to me. Are there other (pigment based?) solutions on the market, that allow to preserve those small, but oh so important nuances over the lifetime of the print? Can one compose one's own mixes? Can you then control the whole thing in PS? Thanks for your educative suggestions! Louis de Stoutz
