Yes it is.  My darkroom has been closed for six years or so now, but the 
last several years of printing was almost all platinum/palladium prints, 
hand-coated paper contact printed under UV lights.  Most all of my 
prints are from in-camera 8x10 negs developed for the particular 
process.  I did experiment with enlarging 4x5 and even smaller negatives 
with an imagesetter and inkjet, with mediocre results.   Some of the 
best printers enlarge their negatives onto, e.g., 20x24 film for contact 
printing, a tedious process at best.  If this works it will be very well 
received.  Right now the cost of pt/pd printing is quite high, due to 
the increases in precious metal prices.  It wouldn't take long before 
your portfolio equaled an M9.  Thx for sending.
