Digital BW, The Print

Hi Clayton, I did also started with Dan Burkholder.
I am printing my photoshop file with my epson R220. The B&W file as a curve added to it that was generated by my program. It also as a screen layer with a color that blocks the light. All my inkjet prints have an orange look. So i take this orange look costco paper photo and go in my darkroom. I put my ilford FB glossy paper on top of it in a frame to contact them together. I turn my enlarger for 55 seconds to expose the Ilford paper that is under my inkjet print.
I take my ilford Fiber paper and put it in the developer, fixer, wash....
I get the same print i had on my screen and it's a silver print.
There's a few people that have develop similar method. I'm a programmer and I like my method and program better. Yesterday I got prints that i have not been able to do before.
You can check my web site. I need to update it. I also have a forum where i keep users updated on new stuff.
If you have any more questions, let me know.
Here's my site:

BTW: I shot a model last week (20 years old) and she has never seen a film. She wanted to see the photo on the back of the camera. I told her to wait an hour. That's on how long it takes to have it processed and scan.

  Hi, Le Globe Trotteur,
  A vary intriguing thread, and a subject that has interested me since 
  the advent of the digital/inkjet age.
  As I recall, Dan Burkholder printed his negatives for large contact 
  prints through a fine screen on a translucent
  Graphic Arts film. Actually, I recall him saying he sent the larger 
  sizes out to have them made.

  Someone asked you what material you use to print the digital 
  negative, and your answer was a Costco paper
  for 8X10, and Illford glossy paper for 11X14. Are you saying that 
  you are printing with "paper negatives"?
  It's a very different look, and if done well, brings us full circle 
  to the origins on the photographic processes,
  but from the sound of your posts, I seem to have gotten the idea that 
  your prints have the look of
  contemporary (more or less) silver prints.

  So am I missing something here?
  (Sorry this is so late in the thread - I get these messages in digest 
  form)
