The cost of a good etching presses makes this idea cost prohibitive to many. If you examine Gene's work and the work of many other bromoilists, you may find that bromoil prints give you what you're looking for. For example.. you may only transfer the ink while the ink is still wet. What if you're not done with your work but you expected to transfer? Essentially it's a reversed negative to get a transfer right side up, not backwards. With a print, you can let it dry, and return to it days, weeks later. In fact sometimes that kind of work allows a creative process with overlaying colors that would not be possible if it was all one soupy mess of stacked pigments and grease.
