Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
it has just occurred to me that being able to output a digital negative at any size makes techniques from the 1840's appealing. Sun prints, which are contact prints, are no longer restricted by the original negative size - one can print a big inkjet negative on film and then make a contact print.

And, because there was no photographic industry at the time these methods were invented, it seems perfect for a tinkerer (as many of us are) ... one doesn't need to invest much in gear to achieve this.

The time has never been better.

But I just can't find the time ... <sigh> ... one day!

Anyone tried this?

thanks,
Richard
