In theory, duplicating a negative onto negative stock of the same type (ie. duplicate Fuji Reala onto Reala etc) should cancel out the orange mask. In practice I doubt it's that simple! There is a product from Kodak called Vericolor Print film which is an RA4-process material that you print onto from negatives like ordinary printing paper. The result is a positive, transparent image, ie. a slide. I have used it to duplicate medium format negatives to make 4x5 slides. I also have a box of 10x8 material which is similar but made by Agfa. Ilford also make transparent and translucent materials for "printing" from slides, to make large display transparencies. Anything's possible...
