I?ve seen some recent posts about making enlarged negatives on an inkjet printer , which is then used to contact print. I have several questions about the topic .

What is the preferred material on which to print? I?ve tried a few experiments, but I always seem to get some unwanted texture.

Is there a preferred printer/ink combination?

Is a ?high-end? scanner required, or are there less expensive (i.e. flat bed) op tions that will suffice?

By the way, this strikes me a wonderful union of traditional and digital techniq ues. The lion doth lie down with the lamb.

Thanks in advance.
