If you are looking to go to a film there is a very nice product sold by M&R Marking. It is a negative film system that has extremely easy to use water based chemistry. To produce a film you print a positive image using a standard printer (I have always done it on a laser, but an inkjet would likely work). You then do a contact print using standard black light bulbs onto the negative film. Now to develop it you just spray on a water based fluid from a squirt bottle and wait 90 seconds then rinse and scrub the film under cool water with a paper towel. The result is a completely negative film that is as opaque as the films I have had done by a commercial photo plotter.
