Scott:
Here is an article from Modern Mechanix magazine detailing what your
student was talking about.

The only thing left out was the requirement that the ink be
waterproof ink similar to drafting ink.
Kind of cool to have that resource still available.
Cheers,
James

Hi group.
I had a student pose an alternative process question for which I
cannot answer.
Does anyone have an idea of what this student is referring to?
" There was a technique I learned in high school which I'm pretty sure
is called
photo bleaching. It's where you draw over a black and white photo in
permanent
marker then let it sit in potassium iodine or some chemical. I was
wondering if
you were familiar with this technique, and if so, if you could help me
obtain
the materials I would need and teach me the exact process. I wanted to
use this
technique in my final black and white photography project."
