[Inking up oil matrixes is much easier than inking up bromoils and has the
advantage of using a material with a rather straight characteristic curve.
Hanfstaengl, the last manufacturer of papers for oil printing, went out of
business in 1992. I hope to have a new paper available during the first half
of
this year. But as long as the worker knows how to coat a piece of high
quality,
smooth paper with a thick layer of gelatin with no air bubbles or streaks
;-),
here are some hints on a good emulsion:]
Sounds to me like you are getting closer and closer to the collotype process:
ink up and run through a press to transfer to another piece of paper.
