Re: [Digital BW] Digital B&W to Traditional B&W

Ok, I see, you need to print to a transparency sheet at full 8x10 and then use your contact print setup. I would like to make a 35MM or even a 6x9 size image so I can use the features of my enlarger (filters, F stop setting and such)I bet at that size this method would not yield a decent negative? Any one tried it?
