If I wanted to print a negative as a negative what would I have to take into account with the positive paper?

How does it work with filters? The Harman DPP tech sheet seems to say it's fine, and filters make a difference, but they only show a 3 1/2 filter.

What about exposure times? Am I looking at longer or shorter exposure times? They say the paper is about ISO 1 to 3, how does this compare to regular multigrade paper? I know I could make test strips, but the paper seems quite expensive and I'm in a perpetual state of brokeness.

I've just come into a negative that I much prefer as a negative image in comparison to a positive. I'd quite like to see it printed large in it's negative format. Maybe my first step should be printing the negative from a scan as the negative.

Considering the cost of direct positive paper, consider making an intermediate paper "negative", i.e. a regular positve print of your negative in the final size, then use that for contact printing.

How would I contact print from, say, and 8x10 of a 35mm print?

I have a regular print, but I don't know how I'd turn that into a negative, if that's what you're saying? Or how I could make a 35mm positive from the negative? I presume something transparent would be involved at some stage.
