I don't have knowledge of the Ilford paper you mention, but Kodak's Endura
line of color RA-4 papers were several years ago re-balanced for lightjet
use. At that time, all I had to do was run a balance-- IIRC the magenta
channel changed. There shouldn't be a problem using a lightjet-designed
paper with a lens projection (enlarger or older printer) system, except
_maybe_ reciprocity issues with a longer exposure. My printer exposures
usually are 2 seconds or less, and when I use the same paper under the
enlarger my exposures are 10-20 seconds. I find no difference in the color
balance of the resulting prints.
(My printer (a 20 year old Hope minilab) will print up to 8" wide prints,
but process up to 16" wide. For prints larger than 8x10, I print them
under
the enlarger and run them thru the processor)
