Polaroid Transfers in Darkroom

I am new to the Internet, and even newer to mailing groups, so I apologize
if
this doesn't work quite the way I expect it to.

I am wondering if anyone has done Polaroid transfers using an enlarger and
negatives. I have always admired the negative image, so I have been trying
this, but without much success. I am trying to transfer b/w negative onto
color
Polaroid (669) film. My result is I can get the general scene, but they do
not
come out clear enough to really make out any details.

I am wondering if perhaps I need a special light source (my enlarger is
for b/w only). I am trying to grasp for ideas right now.

If I let the film develop normally I am generally pleased with it (though my
blacks
aren't too black), but transferring the image is not too successful. I am
letting it
develop approx. 15 seconds before peeling apart. I have tried many
suggestions
of different papers, wet/dry, different rolling methods, etc. Now I am just
wondering
if anyone has done this with success.

Thanks in advance, Kevin
