I maybe wrong, but the dye transfer process was common in the advertising/
photographic business through the 80s as a way of making a print.  RIT was 
still teaching dye transfer in '88.  I've never used the process, but an 
old ad exec told me it was THE way they were able to montage backgrounds 
and foregrounds and other things that Photoshop does now with three clicks 
of a mouse.
