You can get very good results by copying a 4x5 negative using a DSLR camera and
a light pad. Tracing light pads in the $25 price range are easily found. Either
get a glassless
4x5 negative enlarging holder or make one yourself to hold the negative on the
light pad. Just be sure to photograph the emulsion side for best image. A
decent DSLR and lens will photograph your negative with enough resolution to
see the grain on your monitor.
You can then edit your image as required.
There are a couple of useful groups on Facebook:
“Digitizing film with a digital camera”
And
“Platinum Paladium Printing “ covers making printed negatives from digital
files to any size for contact printing onto paper. In your case it’s silver
instead of platinum paladium paper.
There are also tons of books on these technologies.

Site has a lot of options. Had to dig a bit, but they do have large (8x10)
sheets. No mention of price.

My first reaction was it would keep the negative flat, but it would
also require anti newton glass too to be most effective.
Newton glass is easy:
