The usual off-the-shelf intensifiers work o.k. Try Chromium Intensifier (Kodak In-4) or Silver Intensifier (old Kodak In-5). The negatives must be bleached and redeveloped; very scary. Follow directions. Ilford also makes a chromium intensifier (I.In-5) but I've not used it. I've had considerable success with selenium toning of negatives for contrast increase; a remarkable procedure, if perhaps not exactly what you need. - -Gary Colby
