I am very sorry if this post is in the wrong place, but I am desperate.

please, please, PLEASE can someone tell me how I can scan an ink print and print out a film negative? I have googled this, emailed my friends who studied art/photography and no one knows but it must be able to be done because I have seen the print and then the film negative but don't know how it was done.....very frustrated and confused. Please someone help I will be forever grateful! X
 
Desperate?

1)You can take a picture of it with a film camera

or

2) you can scan it, invert the image in a software program like Photoshop and then print it on transparent inkjet paper available lots of places.

What is the purpose of this "exercise" ? On the other hand it is surprising, that art students never heard of digital negative
Google for that and you will find the specs, they are all over the net.

Purpose? There are still a lot of artistic printing that can still only be done via old school negative enlarging. For example: printing on textured/3d objects using liquid emulsion.

Many people also print digital negatives onto transparencies for use in alternative printing processes like, salt prints, gum bicromate prints, etc.

Gentlemen, I am aware of many alternative techniques of printing but thanks for reminding it. I am also aware of methods of turning digital file via digital negative and contact printing into a real photograph.
My question about "exercise" referred to a specific line in OP post:
"please, please, PLEASE can someone tell me how I can scan an ink print and print out a film negative?"
There is a 10 manuals right from the top of google. What's the point to ask it here (in such a dramatic" way), especially that this is film forum and his question is a digital one.
