"I have been shooting in 4X5 and printing Ilfochrome prints. Now I have a
number of trans. that I would like to make pl/pd prints from.Does anyone
have experience making enlarged negs from transparencies? If so, what
film works best?
works best?

Negatives from transparencies require a panchromatic film and ideally one
which processes to good linearity at a gamma of 1.00. Most camera films
lose their linearity when processed to that gamma, and they are limited in
size to 11x14".
Agfa P330p Panchromatic Separation Film processes to gamma 1.00 +/- 50%, it
is on 7-mil polyester base, it is very linear, very sharp and very fine
grained. It is available in metric sizes up to, and including, 50x60cm
(~20x24") and in 8x10".
