Guy, talking of filters you have a lot of experience with pinhole 
photography. Do you use filters with your pinhole cameras?  Given the 
working aperture it may be that adding a filter would give you the 
opportunity for a pint down the pub during the exposure.  How about using 
paper and VC contrast control when taking the photo ...... the mind boggles :-)

Have been thinking about use of paper rather than film - do you have any 
recommendations for a low weight paper that may be suitable for contact 
printing?

Maybe a scan and invert is the easy route but it seems to go against the 
grain for such a beautifully simple photographic process. The print should 
really be silver rather than silicon.

Cheers,
