What I recommended to him yesterday using two exposures is not split
printing. I even inserted a note saying that the similarily is only
superficial resemblance.
The procedure makes 2 exposures. One exposure is with normal contrast
filter for the image. It may be grade 2 or 3 or whatever suitable for
the image and the negative. Not with grade 0 or 00. Another exposure
is with the highest contrast filter, typically grade 5, but the
exposure is adjusted such that this second exposure does not affect
the contrast or density of the highlight and midtone. The role of the
second exposure is merely to increase the shadow contrast and density,
which is typically what you need with underexposed negatives.
