I made silver halide prints exclusively for at least 30 years. Even made some 16 X 20s. That wasn't easy. When I gained access to a good scanner at the ad agency and bought the Epson 1200 inkjet printer about 15 years ago, I started to go digital but kept making some silver halide prints until 2010 or so.
I think the technology was perfected long ago but operator skill plays a major role. And more importantly, you need a negative. Making a negative from a digital frame is akin to growing tomatoes as a seed crop.
