Foma for Lith printing

[thebanana]

Has anyone had experience Lith prnting with the newer Foma Chamois 542 II paper?

Supposedly the emulsion is the same as the old. I couldn't get the original version to work very well, but I can't really blame it on the paper. It lithed, but couldn't get a real strong infectious development. Also, I didn't take much time thinking about what negatives or subject matter work with that texture of paper.

Seems like every paper has a happy zone for whatever lith developer you're using, and in 25 sheets I could not find it. That is about the limits of my experience with it.

Thanks Rich. I've had some good results with the old stuff, but am nearly out. Just curious as to whether the new version is suitable for Lith.

Short answer, yes, Chamois 542 (current version) will lith no problem.
