Very cool. This reminds me of something that I was going to try, but never did since I don't have access to a darkroom.

Here's my thought process:

Take a digital image and invert the colors. Print the result to a transparency. Take the transparency into a darkroom and make prints from it as if it were a piece of film negative.

My thinking was that I could print digital prints to "traditional" paper for those people who insist on silver gelatin prints instead of "giclee" prints.

Anyone ever try anything like that?
