I'm not too familiar with using paper negatives but
the other day I put a piece of Kodak polycontrast RC
paper in a speed easel (in the darkroom under the
enlarger) and I had it emulsion side down by accident.
I was suprised that I had an image on the other side.
It was only about a 1/2 a stop off.What I'm getting
at is it's pretty thin and the light transfers well.
Of course the permanence may be an issue for you and I
dont know how the contrast will suit you. Also it's
variable contrast
so...............? On the upside here in the States
it's easy to find and relatively inexpensive.
