Avoiding any kind of development, and making the process cheaper

[jgmotamedi]

The biggest cost is the plate, not the chemicals. If you can buy a piece of silver and iodine, the other costs are minimal. You might be able to print out an image, but why not just buy some Rubylith? It is quite cheap and Ulano still makes it. In the U.S. try this link.

You can expose an iodized silver plate in a camera, the result will be a negative image at first (f/4 @ 20 min or so) eventually it may turn positive as the image particles grow larger – several hours in camera. You cannot fix it in salt water unless you use clad silver plate.
