Hi,
I'm just starting out in alternative processes and I want to make some 8x10 negs from my 4x5 negs so that I can do some contact printing on platinum paper.
 
Can anyone suggest the best method for this? I was considering using Kodak's direct duplicating film but I'm put off by the cost. Is there a cheaper option?
 
I've been told that I can use lith film in a Bromophen solution 1to3. Does anyone know if that will give me good results? What dev times do I use?
 
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks
 
Mike.

They have a nice and fast interpositive method that uses PMK Pyro.
