Like in Polaroid transfers one can also do Xerox emulsion transfer as well
next to the image transfer. The results can be great, especially in the
beginning when things go nearly wrong and are not repeatable.
If interested I could give some info. One has to bear in mind that all the
effort with this kind of alt results in prints which are not very permanent!
