Silver Gelatin Printing for B&W photographs
Back when the dinosaurs wandered the earth, all photos were printed on paper impregnated with silver halides; it was basically the reverse of the film negative's process, coming out looking like the real world instead of the inverse (negative).There are two basic divisions. Resin-coated papers (RC) are much easier to work with; they dry faster and flatter than fibre prints, and they take much less washing time.
But the other type, fiber-based non-resin coated, silver fixed on paper, is IMO the most beautiful end product in all of photograhy. Go to a museum and look at prints by Ansel Adams and Edward Weston and you'll see what I mean.
I use Adorama for all my printing; you could see if they can do what you want.
By the way, I think it's a big compliment to your photographs that the client wants them in silver in a nearly permanent (and very beautiful) format--congratulations!
