Lith Printing Basics - Suggestions

[B-9]

Always been a big fan of Lith Prints. Never actually done it myself.

I have a project I am planning that is the perfect excuse to learn Lith!

I believe I have all the required hardware, except a few trays I need to replace anyway.

I’ve read through the typical google searches and have a basic feel for the process.

I am however looking for affordable paper options as well as the developer you use with that paper. Possibly exposure time recommendations with a combo you’ve used successfully?

Looking for solid reccomendations of proven combinations Paper/Developer.

I will start another thread down the road for tinting advice. Thanks!

You might have more luck looking at the threads over at photorio, the renamed old APUG site. They have some seriously good lith print makers over there.

Old FB paper. Like 50 years old. This is all I have, anyway.
Arista AB premium liquid lith developer. I have it from argentix.ca.

With Lith to get real results you need to wait 45+ minutes. Not just wait, but agitate.
If you heat the tray, it will come faster, but it is harder to do the snatch, because it is fast as well.

For quick alternative try to develop film in same lith developer.
