Olaf,

Another idea for making contact negs that occured to me but never 
pursued, would be to have the Photoshop file output using a Durst 
Lambda or Cymbologic(?) laser printer onto the Fuji Crystal clear 
film as a reversed negative.

I have seen B&W prints on this color paper and they were very nice in 
terms of tone but have that RC paper look. But they do have a 
transparency film for making backlit displays and that might have 
possibilities for negs. Would need to see the film to be sure.
