Hi Adrian,
Thad Povey & I have hand-contact printed several 1000 of positive and negative image(s) on to Hi-Con and color reversal stock. Thad built a contact printer with a synchronizer and a light source that is dimmer controled, the dimmer is connected to a footswitch in order to have hands-free control of the light while handling the film. The light clips onto the synchronizer and we use blackwrap to control light spillage. With a little experimentation, we have been able to dial in good exposure using the dimmer.
In terms of 'flipped image' we have run a number a sequences with the image base-to-emulsion, it's not as sharp, but definitely legible. With a little extra work, you could possibly A/B roll your sequeneces by making two passes onto the same piece of raw stock from two individual rolls of neg. Or not & live with the additional quality of a slightly soft image.
Good luck,
Alva
