Copying what:
Line art - black or white, no grays
Continuous tone photographs
Paintings

Continuous tone photographs.

Film for copying
continuous tone photographs ?

B&W I take it (?).

A quick alternative that works suprisingly well is color prints:
plain-ole-ASA-100 color negative film and drugstore prints.

If, however, you want B&W negatives then it will have to
be a very low contrast and very fine grain film.

If you have a darkroom or access thereto I would suggest Tech
Pan rated at ASA 7 and developed for 60% of the recommended time
(7 minutes if memory serves) in Technidol. I found this to
work very well.

Lacking that, TMAX-100 developed in Microdol-X would be my next
choice. Again overexpose by 2 stops and develop for 60% to
reduce contrast.

And then, what the heck, scan them ...
