While I'm asking questions of the net, I suppose I might as
well explore the area of darkroom methods too...

I have gathered together the materials and supplies to do contact
printing of B&W negatives on the cheap.  (a picture frame for a
contact printer,  room light for the light source,  etc.)
I have even made a few proof sheets and they seem to be OK.

Now I'm thinking of the big jump into COLOR.  Does anyone have
a favorite technique (or even one they hate, but works and is
easy and cheap) for making color contact proof sheets?  I am
interested in proofing both negatives and slides.  This weekend
I am going to try Panchromatic B&W paper and see how it does,
but I would rather have real COLOR proofs to look at.  Can one
use a regular tungsten light bulb for contact printing color?

Thanks,
