Dan Burholder's book, "Making DIgital Negatives for Contact Printing," certainly
addresses this issue for platinum printing and leaves the door open, while providing a
methodology, for anyone to create "perfect" negatives for whatever process they make
be using. The book's style is a "cookbook" of digital-made-easier techniques as applied
to any photo-medium that needs and uses enlarged contact negatives. Dan also teaches
workshops on the digital medium.
I've used the book to produce negatives that I printed on regular silver paper, then toned
with great results. My ultimate goal is/was to use the Van Dyke process. Since I've
subscribed to this list I've considered other processes as well!!
