Why not try an inj-jet transfer process?  Like used for ink-jet to tea-shirt
transfers?

Hi Greg,

I use a subbing on the tile made from gelatine - just like I would use on
watercolor paper when making a gum dichromate or cyanotype print.    I use a
few drops of formaldehyde in the gelatine mix to harden the coating. This
subbing seals the tile and makes a film that holds the liquid emulsion in
place.  The tile is processed just as if it were photo paper and is placed
in fix as a last step.

Here are a couple of web addresses that have mroe information on the subject
of liquid emulsion.

and

It's a messy, expensive and frustrating process, but I love it.  Let me know
if you try working with it.

Marilyn
