I've done a couple of contact prints from 10x8 negatives by simply placing photo paper on a table, neg onto the paper, then a piece of 4mm glass on top to complete the "sandwich".
Hit the lights for X amount of seconds to expose and hey presto, a photograph ( following development of course!)
The results have been OK ish.
My question is about increasing contrast.
As I have multigrade contrast filters for the enlarger, I'm wondering if I was to sit the "sandwich" below the enlarger lamp and shine that through a filter, would that offer increased contrast to the contact print?
If not, then is there a way to increase contrast of contact prints ?
