I'll try that, thanks. I do, however love the 4x5 size :-(.

I tried using type 55 (which comes with positive and a negative) to follow the
outline you posted - expose, half way through developing press onto a damp
paper. It did not word at all. Not even a ghost of an image. I think that that
paper might actually have some emulsion on it. It is coated with a very thin
celophane type transparent plastic. I did, however get some very good prints -
even the one that was only processed for about 3 seconds before I peeled it
apart (I was experimenting with the time).

I probably did not do something right, but on the face of it, the process might
not work with the positive/negative.
