* By making digital negatives with an inkjet printer, and

* made many fine prints on air-dried, glossy fiber paper.

* With digital negatives, you have the best of both worlds. You 
* have all of the great silver papers that many have come to 
* love, and you have  the power to modify and manipulate your 
* images in Photoshop in ways that even the old darkroom 
* masters could not hope to achieve.

David,

Thank you for that post. Would you be kind enough to post a message
outlining your workflow?

Someone recently post that this was the inkjet list. It certainly seems that
way at times but that was not the original intent and information on other
paths is most welcome.

Do you use inkjet for proofing prior to making your contact negative?
