I inaugurated my home darkroom today by deciding to do some lith printing. This image is the very first one I printed, though I am trying to figure out if Kodak Polycontrast IV Paper lith prints nicely. In any case, I like the effect in this image and wanted some feedback.

Congratulations. The image looks fine, but I wouldn't have picked it as a lith, so maybe the answer is no.
By the way, you are a subscriber (thank you) so the best way to seek impact on your photo is to post it in the galleries here on APUG.
 
I am curious how to kick off a real lith reaction on this paper, everything I am reading says that it is a good lith paper, maybe I did not leave it in the developer long enough.
 
Try the October issue of CiM, Tommy. Diane Kaye lays out a great process adapted from her work with Tim Rudman.
 
Chris,

I was going to pull down the issue, but I cannot seem to find it. Is it on the main site or am I missing it in the Lulu store?

Thanks kirk, now I have the thunderbirds theme stuck in my head.
 
I hope you enjoy it as much as I have for the last 12 hours...
