Inkjets can be used for that as B/W paper contrast is on the high side to
compensate the low contrast of the average negative.
A density of 4 is not really needed to obtain pure white ...
If the black ink density is not sufficient, then you may dope it with yellow
and magenta which will form a red layer, more or less inactinic, and increase
the density seen by the paper.
This is a technique used by various alternative processes printers as their
material, contrary to silver-based paper, do require high contrast negs from
inkjets.
