I've done that quite a number of times in the past. The image is highly
textured
from the fiber of the paper. You can oil the paper-negative to make it more

I've never had a problem with getting a hand check of roll film in a US
airport. I put the film (either in clear cans or NO cans) in a Ziplock bag
in my camera bag, then remove the film and hand it to the security guy while
sending my camera bag and junk through the scanner. In a flight three

Sure, you could use paper too. Of course, your final results would be limited
to 4X5, as you could only contactprint the negative, but if that was what you
