I too am fairly new to the alt. processes, and only have 35mm equipment. I
make a print to the size of the negative I want to end up with using
Multigrade III B/W paper, and then simply contact print this onto another
sheet. Make sure you get the tonal range you want for the process you are
using, and hey presto, a very cheap large negative. Exposure times are
obviously longer through the paper rather than film, but I have not found
this a problem using sunlight, only UV lamps.
I use these for both gumbi and argyrotype processes, and have had a lot of
fun, so persevere!
