Can I use colored film to print black & white pictures using an enlarger?

My photo class only uses black and white film but I have some colored rolls of film that I've already gotten developed by a photo lab. My question is, can I put my colored negatives in one of my school's enlargers and print a picture? Would the paper we use for black and white photos work?





Thanks guys!|||yes|||It would work, but you will not have much contrast in the prints. Use a No. 4 contrast paper or a paper designed specifically for printing as you wish to do - using a color negative film to make a B%26amp;W print. I forget the name of the stuff, but some other answerer might help us out here.





You can try the red filter also, to increase contrast in your print.|||I believe black %26amp; white paper made for color negatives is called Panalure.
