I've used ortho litho film from "Freestyle" based in L.A. and I was wondering if one could make an image on this sheet film from color negatives? Is so, what would the results be? I have some photos I took of Eastern Turkey (mainly landscape and buildings) and was wondering if they could make a B&W image on ortho litho film? (thanks for any help since I don't have access to a dark room right now to test this)

I'm not sure about color negatives, but I am currently printing on Ortho film using color slides and the images are beautiful. I have been creating very large negatives and contact printing them (black and white, cyanotype and Van Dyke) and they all look fine, with plenty of detail.
