You may wish to consider using Mark Nelson's Precision Digital 
Negatives method for printing silber gelatin or other alternative 
process prints. He has written a book that provides the reader with a 
method for making very precise inkjet or image setter negatives for 
contact printing using Pictorico OHP (other transparency mataerials 
may be suitable as well such as Photo Warehouses transparency 
product).

You can find out more details about Mark's book at his website.

I've not yet made any prints using his method but I've seen booth the 
negatives and prints made and they are indeed very nice.

Good luck,

Don Bryant
