Spanish term or phrase: chromopalladium
This is from a wall text for the show of an Argentine artist. I am finding references to "chromopalladium" but in French texts, mostly about her... ANy ideas?

Junto a su editor realizó ediciones de estos trabajos para diversas muestras, y experimentó con diferentes técnicas (para las ediciones de Texto, 1974 y Cuatro textos, 1970-1998, por ejemplo, utilizaron el cromopaladio, un proceso fotoquímico mixto).

Thanks

pigment over palladium
Explanation:
Please see discussion box.

The Pigment over Platinum/Palladium method was developed by Dan Burkholder. This technique involves coating photographic chemicals over a digital (pigment) under-print. In the case of these images, the digital portion is similar to a watercolor wash. The detail comes from the palladium print. The name originates from the way the chemicals reside on the paper. The palladium soaks into the fibers of the paper, while the pigment remains on the surface.
