David,
There have been many discussions on digital negs and the Epson Backlight
film. I'm using an Epson 1520 printer with special cartridges and archival
black/gray inks. I have included an excerpt from an earlier post that may
be helpful if you are using an epson printer.
>As you may know from previous posts, Epson techs have stated that if
you send an

interpolate.
>I have never heard the actual rational for how this works, but I
suspect

I obtained my back light film from Larry Roohr here on the list - others
came forward to offer E-sources, unfortunately I didn't save the info.
Good luck,
Nick
