With data taken by SELEX, which accumulated data during the 1996-1997 fixed target run at Fermilab, we study the production of charmed hadrons on copper and carbon targets with Sigma-, p, pi-, and pi+ beams. Parameterizing the production cross section A^alpha, A being the atomic number, we determine alpha for D+, D0, Ds+, D+(2010), Lambda_c+, and their respective anti-particles, as a function of their transverse momentum pt and scaled longitudinal momentum xF. Within our statistics there is no dependence of alpha on xF for any charm species for the interval 0.1, Comment: 8 pages, latex, 9 figures. As accepted by EPJC
