Major Practical Project - Prints...

So I've been in a bit of a quandary. How am I going to produce the final prints of these images. Of course, the most time effective way of doing it is to make high quality scans of the negatives, then make digital prints from the scans. However, when I was making my back up scans, there was just something that wasn't right about seeing the images on a computer screen.
So the other option is hand prints. I went into the darkroom yesterday to have a bit of an experiment with the remainder of a pack of paper I'd had for a while, and I'm so glad I did.

So I have only printed 6 images so far, but I now know that this is the road I want to go down. Images are printed at 7"x7" size, on 8"x10" paper leaving half an inch border all around. But hand printed images have a completely different quality for me than digitally printed ones. It's also a much more raw, hands on way of making prints, which I feel fits in with this project.

The only question now is gloss or lustre?
