Yes that is the place. Their web address didn’t work from my bookmark.
Matt is correct for enlarger work as final result this is the only way, inkjet negs or even lambda negs will not resolve well.You need to find someone who has a film recorder - a machine designed to write digital files to film.
I don't know though whether I've ever heard of one set up for preparing negatives!
I really appreciate all the ideas!(and the chatter!). I have decided to skip the digital camera idea. Everyone here is right, the quality that would be achieved for what i want is subpar, and the idea is quite novel. Everyone gave me good resources, but all of those resources ended up being wildly expensive for someone like me. I will just stick to film, digital is more of a novelty for me i guess. I haven't any real use for it. And Dead Link Removed!!! why did you mention ilfochrome prints??? i'm already depressed because ektachrome is coming back and no way to have those beautiful beautiful ilfochrome prints...
Ha, how did you know i'm a bad photographerThe OP said that he didn't want to simply print his digital files with an inkjet or dye sub printer because he hates them. I doubt that he can ever make a negative that he would love to print.
Rather than mourning Ilfochrome (never as good as was advertised/claimed, and far from "archival") it might be fun to learn to make (or pay somebody to make) good inkjet prints on (for example) Epson Legacy Baryta or (if you want maximum gloss) Canon Platinum Pro. Just a suggestion.
You can still do contact prints from large digital negatives.
. . . I don't like digital prints because they seem strange to me, I grew up without them, and therefore to my eyes they look plastic and lack depth. Maybe i will try them again in the future, as i haven't used them since the early 2000's, but right now i like my process as it works for me. . . .
A lot has changed in printer technology, inks and papers since then.I don't like digital prints because they seem strange to me, I grew up without them, and therefore to my eyes they look plastic and lack depth.

P.S the use of insults is not a very adult way of discussing the disagreeances in opinions and preferences among individuals, it comes off rather immature![]()
