You can make computer paper negatives translucent by using mineral oil or
liquid parafin (a product I have only seen in England). The oil has to be
rubbed into the paper with a cotton wad for some time for it to become
translucent. Then you can put it between paper towels to soak up any excess
oil. If you use this method, you should put a piece of clear transparency
material between the oiled negative and your prepared printing paper. There
is also a way to use wax, but I'm not familiar with that. Grace
