Nope. But they should look essentially the same.
I'm happy to do a swap with you - contact me off-list.

Any idea how the prints compare to those from the big printers that
"paint" lasers on real film paper and then develop the paper
traditionally?  I can get prints on true B&W RC paper for $2.50 per
8x10.  

Anybody interested in doing a print swap to compare?
