Platinum printing is a contact printing only process.  If you shoot 
35mm, and there are those that do, you will have to make an enlarged 
negative of the size you wish your print to be.   Somewhere I have 
read, perhaps on the net, not sure, of people who make big contact 
negatives on a high-quality inkjet printer on clear acetate film.  I 
would think this would be the way to go, if you want to shoot with 
minature films.
