'chelle - we do something like this in the newspaper industry sometimes. Special paper film ... big 30" x 25" sheets of it (big enough for one doubletruck page). Kind of cool. Taltos - Hmmm ... I kind of get the feeling it wouldn't work because the ink would be opaque and no translucent. Would think it would tend to look like a 1-bit b&w image with no gradation. If you did halftone like dots that might work. Misha's sounds like an interesting technique that you might work really cool for some artistic prints. Sort of like a Polaroid transfer. There are a few ways they do it in the labs - printing digital images on traditional papers. I think the most popular way now is to use a system that uses LASERs to project the image onto the paper. Then everything else is done as you normally would if you had printed a negative. -=>Donald
