I've contact printed before using some daylight negative film and I
had to use a flashlight that matched the film's temperature (or as
best as it could). I'm pretty sure 7250 is Tungsten balanced, so if
you used C41 you're cross processing which produces crazy colors
anyways. With the muted colors, since its reversal you have about a 4
stop latitude and last time I contact printed there was no possible
way to know what my exposure was, but negative is far more forgiving
and I could estimate. To get more faithful results use negative and
don't cross process (also, expired film might have something to do
with the muted color).
Not sure if this was helpful, but when I contact printed it was a lot
of trial and error.
Email me off list if you have another question.
