I don't know if this is a true alt-process question, but...

I just saw a show in Dallas of Thomas Struth's photography. (You may have
read about this show in a recent issue of the New Yorker.) Some of the
prints are huge color prints printed on plexiglass, it appears. My partner
read somewhere in the exhibit that this is the case. I am wondering how
this is done. Is color emulsion "brushed" onto the plexiglass and then the
plexi/emulsion is exposed and developed like any other color print? Can
you "brush" other sorts of emulsions onto plexiglass?

The black and white silver gelatin prints were really beautiful also. In
fact I liked them better than the color prints. They would have been great
in pt/pd, but you have to admit, sometimes silver gelatin has its
applications.
