I want to start down the road to making photo chemical enlarged dupe negatives for Alt. Processes.

I plan on contact printing the 4x5 to make a suitable positive and then projection printing that to a 8x10 sheet for contact printing.

Later on I will projection print from smaller formats to a suitable 5x7 or 8x10 from which I can contact print to make the final negative.

Most recommend1:10 to 1:20 diluted Dektol for about 2 minutes, but I have a bottle of PF Liquidol needing an application.

Seems it would be a reasonable substitute; has anyone tried Liquidol with copy film?

I know, I know, test it, but hope someone has a good starting point to minimize waste...
