Shannon, There are many people that can do what you are requesting, I for
one. There are several paths that you can take. You can print directly to a
contact negative material from your ink jet ( Bob, Inkpress is what you want
or Pictorico OHP), send it off to a lab or someone with an LVT. Again many
places that can do that. Some will be able to directly make you a contact
neg to the neg size you need; up to 16x20 or 20x24.
Then the question becomes; What process do you need a negative for? Silver
Gelatin? Platinum/Palladium? Cyanotype? Etc and do you know the curve of
your neg?
I say make a neg the biggest your enlarger can go IF that is your path, if t
is contact to print size if possible. If not, make a contact digital neg.
What type printer do you have?

While we're on the subject. I have an Epson 4000. What material can I use to
print digital negatives (for subsequent contact printing) with on it? Can I
do it at all?
Thanks,
Bob Younger

Shannon what you need is a lab that has a film recorder. Some would prefer
to invert the file themselves and others might want you to. Just scan and
make the repair. Then the lab will likely give you some instructions to get
the best negative back. Some might say a 4x5 neg is best and others might
say a medium format negative would be better. I'd just listen to the lab.
They know their equipment and should give you the right direction for the
best results.
