Ricardo, I was in Montana helping them organize their first year and can say that David Lewis' students were able to produce very strong images. I didn't get to see the transfer process as I took several weeks off, but did see his press.
High quality materials. I can recommend his paper for regular silver printing and the students sure produce good bromoils with it.
The answer to your how to avoid a flip would be to make your original print backwards.
As to color bromoil transfer , you can make a multicolor original bromoil or try several pulls. It would require a good registration system. I would consult David or Gene for that.

Subject: Bromoil Transfer
Dear Friends,
I'm looking for good informations on bromoil transfer. Most of the books I've read describes the process of making the matrix, but don't touch on the transfer subject. On these informations I'm looking for answers (just to name some) on:
1. What's the best etching press or alternative equipment to use on the bromoil transfer process ?
2. What's the indicated procedure in order to produce a mirror image so that the transfer won't be laterally reversed ?
3. How many times in average each copy must be printed over again in order to produce a good final image and which register system must be used then ? And how ?
4. What about process color bromoil transfers ?
Could anyone help me, please ?
