never really tried it for silver.  I would be interested in knowing if anyone has had

the cost of film output is coming down, and I'm skeptical that an imagesetter or 
inkjet neg would have the tonal range and detail needed for fiber based silver 
prints.  But, Dan Burkholder's book ( www.danburkholder.com) holds out hope 
and I would appreciate hearing from those who have tried.

I've seen Dan Burkholder's silver prints up close and personal. They are excellent 
with no grain.
