Digital BW, The Print

I think this would be a great idea.  Some of the benefits of both worlds.

I bought Dan Burkholder's book on Making Digital Negatives a couple of
years ago.  See  http://www.danburkholder.com

In the past he mainly went to imagesetters to produce a digital neg.
I never got to that stage because of the expense and hassle of dealing
with a service bureau.  I'd much rather have something I can do myself.
In the edition I have Dan does have a chapter about Desktop Negatives
using inkjet printers.

Anyway, I'm interested but don't have anything to add yet.
First question is: what tranparency material to use.
