Seems you had some good advice already, Bill, so I won't add confusion.
But
do tell about the alt process - carbon transfer, could it be??
The light box worked perfectly, with the exception of one of the 12 light
bulbs was defective. No explosions, fires, etc. The fan runs whisper
quiet and does what it is supposed to do.
Piers, for several years I have been doing some alt process work, the
majority of which doesn't require a darkroom and matched nicely with the
computer world as you are using larger negatives or positives which are
generated
in your computer and your prints are contact prints. Exposure can either
be done with the sun or with a light box. The light box gives a more
consistent/repeatable exposure.
Some of the methods I've used are cyanotype, Van Dyke browns, platinum,
paltinum/paladium, polymer gravure printing, gum bichromate and others. For
any who are interested I would recommend a book by Christopher James,
