Nope, they mean collodion, which is a whole nother thing. (Have you seen
Collodion Journal, a new quarterly out of George School, PA?)

> elsewhere? Any complications in doing this on a paper substrate.

OF COURSE there are complications!!!!???? How could you ask? That is,
it's done (saw gorgeous prints in this mode at Zabriskie Galalerie a few
years back, huge, too), but you've got to work out each paper,
sensitizer, powder, personality, weather, beta wave combination for itself.
But even plain old gum printing is temperamental, FULL of complications &
changes even as you grow old (rapidly) looking at it.That's why we do this.
