I was at a fellow photographer's place today. I was talking to him and he uses some kind of positive duplicating film to enlarge 4x5 negatives to large sizes (like 16x20) for doing contact printing processes. His enlarged negatives look great (the film is really clear) and his platinum prints from these negatives look amazing. I'd like to try this out.
The only positive duplicating film I can find using google is this ultrafine stuff but I can't seem to find much on the 'net about people using it.
The other option is I use something like Arista or Ilford ortho film which would produce an enlarged positive that I would have to then contact print onto another sheet of film to make a negative.
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated!
An yes, I know I could do digital negatives but I don't have a scanner that will handle LF negs nor do I have an inkjet printer. So a couple of boxes of film is a lot cheaper than buying all that hardware.
