Also, check out PDN negative making from Mark Nelson.
we made a wide variety of digital negatives using inkject papers then contact printed them to Ilford RC papers (because it was quicker). It was amazing how nice they turned out. Shortly i will be making some for alternative processes as well.
On the subject of darkrooms, i have been doing traditional darkroom work for about 60 years, as i started when i was ten years old. Am in very good health, and still love the process. There are a wide variety of options for us these days and folks can pick what there heart desires.
However, it is true, the digital path is a slippy rabbit hole of updates and cost, but as a friend of mine says, "photography is not for the faint of wallet".
