Well, I finally did it, I finally made a negative enlargement! And it looks very good! Also gave me an excuse to pull out my enlarger, I haven’t used that in too long…

50mm lens, f/5.6, 120 seconds exposure from Tasma 42L onto Kodak 2422.

I just used it like any other enlarging paper, not much to it.

Splendid! Do you mind sharing your process?

I believe that thread references using the film in-camera.
Whereas this thread is about using the film to make enlarged negatives for contact printing processes.

I'm interested in this, because it would permit me to make negatives for use in Alternative processes. Otherwise, I either have to limit myself to tiny prints, or have someone else make digital negatives for me.
My digital printing options are limited to a monochrome laser printer - which admirably satisfies almost all of my non-photographic printing options.

A suitable image for the first enlargement! Fido surely appreciates the size increase :smile:

Another application for this would be to get more detail out of a negative that you're going to scan. I used to enlarge on 5x7 paper specifically for that reason.
