The Gelatin Tissue

A sheet of carbon tissue (a fine coat of gelatin laid on paper) is cut a little larger than the size of the plate.

In the darkroom, the carbon tissue is sensitized to light in a solution of 3% potassium dichromate in distilled water,

rolled face down and laid to dry as evenly as possible on a sheet of glass or Plexiglas, n order to produce a high gloss surface when dried.
