Geoff,
Your work is wonderful, especially like the building fronts in venice.
I had been experimenting with lith film for quite while (and l'm now  
experimenting with xray dupe and digital negatives).
It had never occurred to me to make the inter-positive with RC paper.  
I can see how much easier it would be to keep the inter-positive very  
low contrast (in order to keep down the contrast in the negative).  
However, how long are  your exposures through the RC?

I was using HC-110 at low dilutions and constant very subtle  
agitation. I found it very hard to get the right time of development  
and I was still getting too  much contrast.
Though, I was printing enlarged negs directly from b&w positive slides.
Lately, I've come across medical dupe film and it's great. It's like  
the opposite of lith film: dektol straight for 3 minutes. lot's of  
agitation. Though it requires a massive amount of exposure.
