Thanks Ed- I didn't mention it in my previous post, but I experimented with a bit of lith film (have a bunch of it) and dilute XTOL (my favorite). I got a surprisingly nice continous tone neg, and just need to optimize development time to get the contrast right. No doubt there are better process methods and a flash exposure (is that a "bump" in graphicartspeak?) to reduce the contrast would help a lot. Fortunately I enjoy the journey as much or more than the final product!(posted 8608 days ago)
