Digital BW, The Print

Haven't personally done it since the late 80's/early 90's... And then, 
it was color separations done with a laser..  Quite rudimentary...

I know that Harald discusses it in his book. (obviously the technology 
is much better these days, but I don't have the time to try it myself 
right now)... Were I doing it today, I would run output to a film 
recorder, UNLESS I wanted some very specific effect from printing 
digital neg's (like to create paper negs, etc)

Besides, it sends me form a pure digital workflow to one that is mixed 
analog and digital..  Since I still generally start my processing with a 
scan of a chrome or negative, I'd be going analog to digital file to 
digital print to analog.. I really start to worry about generational and 
translational losses of data in such a scenario.

Although, I will certainly defer to the real world experiences of others
