Homemade film + homemade enlarging paper

[zozur]

Hello
Is it possible? I'm thinking about medium format film and enlarging it on homemade paper.
Anybody do this? Effects would be good? I'm thinking about 3x or 4x enlargement.
All the best

Yes, it is possible and there is a group in Poland doing it at this present time.

There is a whole forum here on APUG with more information and you are posting in it.

People have made 4x5 sheet film and plates, 120 film and 35 mm film with speeds in the range of ISO 1 - 80 and some are even panchromatic. Papers include Kodabromide and Azo types with various contrasts.

The book is free to read in Blurb preview. It includes recipes and detailed instructions for making film (up to ISO 125, ortho summer speed) and both contact printing paper and two varieties of enlarging paper. Good luck and fun!
