Lith printing on sheet film (not paper)?

[Ian Leake]

This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to make lith prints on sheet film? Has anyone done this? And are there any obvious pitfalls? Any techniques or materials that work better than others?

Thanks in advance,
Ian.

Works very well on proper lith film. Used to to this for a client on Kodalith sheets. Did some a few years ago on 5x4 Rollei Ortho and got a good result but not as delicate as the old Kodalith.

Thanks again. I'll post my results if I get something appealing.

Ian, I have an example up in the gallery right now, maybe onto the second page. Two lith printed 8X10's on half tone film. The first produced a lot of color, then contacted that one onto a second sheet and developed again in kodalith. Very high contrast, but married up with the original they look great in the light frame.

I'll be following this topic - I've just been thinking about this very question - my aim would be to make kallitype prints to match very closely to some of my lith prints - I'll be trying to enlarge MF negatives but want the enlarged negs to have lith-qualities...
