David,

Thanks for the comments. Contact printing time through RC paper is not that
much longer than through film - a stop more light or double the time seems
about right.

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.
