Digital BW, The Print

I just got in the inkjet digital neg CD from Dan Burkholder, a supplement to
his excellent book.  I have used his technique in the past to make pt/pd
prints (they are forgiving due to the paper being textured), but according
to Dan his workflow will give excellent results using Pictorico white film
and silver paper.  He says the 2200 is the best yet for digital negs, so one
of these days I'll give it a try. Hard to believe it would be as satisfying
as an enlarged in-camera neg, but who knows until you try. Right now I'm
pretty happy with the 2200 and cotton paper, though it appears the IP rip is
needed for b&w or toned b&w.  Oh well, $495 isn't that much compared to the
cost of photo trips I never seem to be able to take...

Regards,

* I have found a new Holy Grail.
*
* By making digital negatives with an inkjet printer, and
* taking them back into the traditional wet darkroom, I have
* 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?
