and order a calcolour kit. It's a bunch of large colour filters. You can lay them over top of your contact printing glass and negative if you want to have some control over contrast.

Oriental RC and FB paper is available in Grades 2, 3, and VC.

Edit: VC is the way to go IMO. Recently I contact printed a negative as a Grade 3 on VC paper after having ruled out Grade 2. But after looking at the dry print I thought that it looked a little dull so I went back and reprinted it at Grade 3.5 and the dry print "popped."

Sounds good. I will look into it when I'm not in a hurry like now
That is very kind of you!, but I live in Odense. I may take you up on the offer when I drive to Copenhagen some time.
EDIT: Somehow I had gotten in my head that you ive in Cph. But now you know I live in Odense.
Ah, that explains it. The light would be the ugly pale stuff (only legal/currently in production light bulbs here...).
Very useful info. Thanks!
A small enlarger makes an excellent light source for contact printing. You get consistent exposure times and they usually have a place to mount the VC filters. I use an old Federal that packs up into its own case so space is less of an issue.

Oh god that is some trip. I've never been deeper into Jutland than Randers...
Anyways, I actually might go ahead and get an enlarger. But will a 35mm one light up 14x17? Or do I need to go bigger.
Yes, a dedicated 35mm enlarger's projected light will allow you to cover 14x17 on the baseboard.
