If you need larger images, could you take the digital file to a printshop and
have them print a digital negative on film with a high resolution imagesetter?
I think they can do pretty large images on film...

X-mas. Fortunately the subject has not been dealt with extensively.

Personally i am still in doubt whether I would prefer the Epson Stylus
Photo or a bigger size printer, which will enable me to produce bigger
negatives. Maybe there are even better printers (I have heard on the
list of a new Canon(?) printer coming out this year, but i don't wanna
wait for that). So all information from people actually using a printer
for their digital negatives would be welcomed by several people on the
list.

My main problem would be: what printer gives you best value for its
money? And also: alt photo demands may be quite different from photo
quality demands. I am not looking for a specefic photo quality printer,
but more for one which may combine things (reasonable or good quality
and good alt photo possibilities (producing digital negatives)
