" I am in the process of contact printing large paper negatives
under my enlarger (using Kodak paper) by just putting negative
and pos. paper under a sheet of glass and printing. As a result
I am getting areas on the print that are not sharp. Is there
a better way of doing this without resorting to purchasing a
large contact printer?"

I've not had a problem with unsharp areas. As long as the papers are
emulsion to emulsion, and clamped firmly together, mine seem to work. I
just use a cheap "clip frame" (clipped together with bulldog clips) which
does the job for exposing out in the sun too. I suppose there must be loss
of detail, but I tend to print on watercolour paper, so detail is lost
anyway.
