Hi Dave,

The carbon process has contrast controls that allow virtually any density range negative to print. I personally make my in-camera negatives for carbon printing with a DR of about 1.75 because this allows me to also print them in kallitype or palladium easily.

If you will tell me what film/developer combination you are using, and your method of develoment, I will suggest a development time that should give you a good printable negative for carbon.
