I have been quite succesful using Dan's technique to make negatives for the silver gelatine process using the Pictorio High Gloss White Film that he recommends for the 2200. Using the step wedge to get the exposure correct is very impotant. Make sure the 100% step is as black as the paper will print. Exposure times are long - 2 minutes or so with the enlarger I used. The real question is if the whole silver gelatine process is worth it. I'm using QTR and I like the prints a lot, but wish the black was a little better. I'm waiting for the recent discussions about GLOP on RC papers to settle down to a solid conclusion and process. Steve Bye
