I'm trying to get back into 4X5 and want to try some field developing for a variety of reasons. Note: I've been away from large negative processing for quite a while.

Here's my primary question; if I process the film with a short wash, can I make a contact print with the wet negative, then keep the negative wet until proper washing and drying can be done?

Would it help to have the paper wet as well?

Do you think the emulsion will just become more and more sensitive as the wet time extends?

Thanks,

Dennis
