Paper negatives

multi contrast..

i'm still puzzled on how you can contact print the RC paper. mine has a thick back so i don't think light can go through it do i need to peel the emulsion side before making a contact print?

thank you! will post more test here.

take a negative done "my" way - hold it up towards light and place your hand behind it...
Can you see something?

If so there is no problem. Just try it.

(Nowadays I use FOMA MC paper)

YES you can use multi contrast paper! In fact, it provides you with the option to place a filter (low, normally) in front of the lens (or back) and then you'll have more grey tones in the negative. Just double the light to compensate for the filter.

It is really easy!

i will try this.. while checking my paper negs i can see through the image at the back so i think the paper at the back is not that thick. so exposure in doing contact print will be double or triple?

thank you!
