Fogged paper and lith printing

[matti]

I found out yesterday that some old fogged efke-paper lith prints without a problem. Maybe the overexposure makes the fog non significant, or what?

Lith developers are high contrast soups with a lot of potassium bromide - that lowers the base fog. I also use sometimes badly fogged FOHAR soft gradation paper for lith printing with great success.

The highlights are rendered in a different way, so if the paper is fogged it might even help... it works for me, too.

I posted an example (there was a url link here which no longer exists).
I was quite irritated after buying the fogged paper, even though it was cheap. But now I think I might look at Tim Rudmans first Lith book to see what he recommends there and try to find something really cheap.

Hmmm, would this be a way to salvage the 40+ year old boxes Haloid and Ansco paper we just got in an auction lot?
