I think what we will see soon is a 'silver-gelatin printer'. In other words, prepare the file or negative scan digitally, and then, print it via a laser printer to silver-gelatin paper, exposing the paper with the laser. The rest is done in the darkroom. This is not much different from the old imagesetters.
Before I forget, this way your hands will smell like hypo after a Photoshop session.

The silver gelatin print is still worth the effort. De Vere makes a digital enlarger that would be fun to try.Has anyone had any experience with it?I imagine some of you have contact printed ink-jet transparencies.
