Hello,
I'm trying to do my first attempt at lith printing and I've got a question about the dilution. How much part A and how much part B do I use per liter of water? My grasp of the math is tenuous but it tells me about 110ml of each and that seems like a lot more than very dilute. Help please.

Not sure what developer you are using but with moersch easylith I use 13ml + 13m and make up to one litre with water. I expose at + 2 stops. Works for me, but then again I'm still very much a newbie at this.

I use LD20 at 20ml+20ml+800ml of A+B+water - Sometimes going up to 1000ml of water.

Lith developers are used in very dilute solution to enable you to use extended development times which (often) brings out surprising colours or subtle tones. The trade off is limited capacity and development times of 10, 20, or even 40 minutes.
