    Lith Printing Now Dead? Tim Rudman Lith Printing Newsletter Comes to an End.

    Interesting remedy. I wonder how it works to prevent the snowball effect?

    Lith Printing Now Dead? Tim Rudman Lith Printing Newsletter Comes to an End.

    Not long ago a friend of mine did lith printing for the first time using Foma Retrobrom and had those snowballs covering the print, until he washed paper for 60 sec in a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution (got this idea somewhere here in photrio) before developing.

    Lith Printing Now Dead? Tim Rudman Lith Printing Newsletter Comes to an End.

    I got into Lith when my community darkroom had a bunch of old paper, someone mentioned Lith as a tecnique to use it, and that fogged old paper turned into a photograpical goldmine for me. However, am quite intermittent with printing Lith An emulsion that sadly has not made it into paper is Adox...

    Retrobrom is yelow tinted with a lith development. Very yelow.

    Provenance of Rollei Vintage printing papers

    That doesn't add up as far as I can tell: 'The' Foma paper that's ideal for lith development is Fomatone MG. This is a very warm-tone emulsion on a warm-colored base, and it's about 2 stops slower than Fomabrom. Fomabrom is a neutral-tone emulsion on a clear white base and exposes fairly...

    Retrobrom and the current Fomatone indeed should lith just fine (I still have enough of the old stuff in stock so haven't tried myself) and furthermore I try to lith just about every paper I can get my hands on. Sometimes with good luck, sometimes with great disappointment... 😁

    Ah, wait, but what about Foma Retrobrom? It's still in stock and it is (at least was) lithable for sure, though I don't very much like what it looks in my hands. And Fomatone should be fine too, since they changed the formulation back to meet the lith-printers demand.

    Foma Variant III FB paper

    I use Foma Variant 111 primarily, but i do have Fomatone 131(glossy)....for some portrait prints. I find it to have a very subtle softer look, more so than Ilford WT.

    Foma Variant III FB paper

    Any opinons about FOMATONE FB, glossy or matt, processed the traditional way? Till now I only tried it for Lith printing, in which I am merely a debutant... And there is RETROBROM FB too, but I haven't seen this one yet.

    Lith printing with FOMA 131?

    I get snowballs with Foma 131 and 133 from time to time (but not always) which makes it harder to figure out why. I get them mostly in the blacks. I tried the peroxide soak a time or two with no real change, but I probably didn't try enough times to be sure if it helped or not. I have used...

    Acetone in lith developers

    I was going to do the control test later but decided to do it this morning. The results are very interesting. Prototype formulas: GVXC1 Prototype #2: Part A: * 40ml water * 9.4g potassium metabisulfite * 2g sodium sulfite * 0.3g borax * 11g hydroquinone (make a slurry, will not dissolve) * 30ml...

    How do you like to use Ilford Cooltone paper?

    Kodak papers are a bit before my time, though I hear there were a few that were quit special. I do have some expired Kodak paper, but much of it is fogged or struggles with highlight detail. I mostly use it for testing chemicals and equipment. Ilford Cooltone is the only Ilford paper I have...

    Foma Retrobrom?

    I saw your message the other day and meant to respond to include a Lith print I did with Retrobrom. I order a couple of packs recently. I have only made a couple test Lith prints during a session (and straight using ID-78 warm tone mixed developer). I was pleased with the straight prints, though...

    Foma Retrobrom?

    So you think Fomas claim that the paper is lithable isn't worthy anything? I'm pretty sure they know if it is lithable or not .. :D

    Foma Retrobrom?

    I'm not sure what you are getting at. The thread doesn't have any information on Retrobrom other than your post mentioning Foma's stated ability to lith.

    Foma Retrobrom?

    I'm guessing that the lack of replies are saying not many people have tried this paper. Well, I decided to order a pack of 8x10 in the glossy finish since I am curious. I'm particularly interested in how this is going to compare to the Fomatone MG Classic paper I have and will make a print of a...

    Foma Retrobrom?

    Has anyone had experience using Foma Retrobrom paper? I have some interest in trying it for lith printing and conventional prints (if the contrast allows for it). I can't seem to find much information on it other than what is posted on Foma's site and some sample images (looks a warm green...

    Lith print paper status 2020?

    I asked Foma for their paper lith compability and I got response that FOMATONE MG Classic and new paper of RETROBROM should be OK. They even sent me samples - I haven't yet tested those. I stashed a box full of old Agfa & other papers so I kinda sorted the Lith paper demand for years :D

    Foma Retrobrom

    It looks like Foma just released a new photographic paper: Retrobrom. Or at least it is new to me. Except for some sample images that float the internets, I do not know anything about it except that it can be used for lith printing. Once I found out about it, I ordered a box. Looking forward...
