I know Jim Larimer makes B&W laser negatives for his gum dichromate and
gum-oil work. I think he is a member of this list so you may get a
response from him. I know that he is an active member of the Hybrid
Photo Forum and has work posted in the galleries there. He also has a
blog site that shows a lot of his work.
