Phillippe
For the lamp try a Phillips HPR 125 which will give you a number of
wavelengths suited to a number of alternative processes . For the negative
material, if 10 x 8 is what you need, use Ilford FP4 which is the only film
that will do the job properly if you want to get a full range of tone for
platinum printing from in camera negatives. Anything else is a compromise.
If you are going for larger sizes Typon from Switzerland make good
graphic arts films. There is a new eqivalent from Berger which I saw in
Silverprint today.
I am surprised that the Direct Duplicating film is not available in
Belgium.
