Digital BW, The Print

Sorry for being a little slow in replying; I am in the Chicago area
for few days, promoting my photographs and have hard time to seat at
the computer. I can be reached on the phone sometimes. 
Look here in the case:

Pure gelatine coating dries pretty quickly: about 1 day. Once dried,
it behaves  very similarly to air dried silver gelatine prints. In
other words, it is not sticky. However, we have developed a modified
gelatine coating which is softer and it looks better on the paper rag.
In this case the print takes from two to three days to dry and it is
sticky for another three-four days, depending on the humidity in the
room. Once fully cured, it does not stick any more.

We never tried, but I see no reasons it should not. I do not like the
gloss of ferrotyping either.
