  You might want to post this question to the Alternative
Processes list. Someone there will have either used or know
about this thing.
  There is an archive at:
http://www.usask.ca/lists/alt-photo-process

 I beleive it also has subscription instructions or a
pointer to them. If you are platinum printing you will find
this list interesting and valuable. It will put you into
contact with a great many platinum printers.
