Snoopy, What about Polaroid emulsion transfer (You'll shoot a Polaroid (thin about 8*10) you somehow detach the emulsion from the base, and transfer it to the paper) There are only 2 problems: availability of Polaroid materials and (thus) the price) No idea if you can lift the emulsion of a standard colour print..
