I am planning to branch out and make contact prints with my 11x14 whenever the university photo department returns the camera and lenses ( 250 WF, 300 Dagor, 12-19-23 Protar VII, and Nikkor 450 Q). Most of my more recent LF experience is with 5x7 Ilford Delta 100 developing in XTOL 1:2 and then scanned for digital printing.
Suggestions about personally used currently available contact print paper ( no POP or Platinum ) and chemicals would be very welcome. My current thought tends toward a classical approach: Adox Luper contact paper ( now that AZO's gone) developed in Photographer's Formulary Amidol or Ansco 130 developer, with the film probably Ilford FP4 11x14 developed in one of the more modern Pyro formulations.
Any experience-based thoughts and suggestions about materials, processes, and procedures would be appreciated.
Thank you.
