Unibrom for lith printing?

[Laci Toth]

I have the chance to get a lot of these papers, (expired in the late 70’s, early 80’s) for cheap. I’m wondering if they work well in lith developer?
If not which Unibrom from the USSR works?

Slavich Unibrom 160 BP which is a graded fibre paper produces a very graphic black and white image when lith printed. I haven't used their RC version so can't comment on that.

I forgot to also mention Slavich Bromportrait graded fibre paper which provides a brown image when lith printed and is easier to control than the Unibrom paper.
Bromportait is only available in the Embossed finish which has a nice slightly textured surface. Both papers are beautiful when printed normally also.

I must add I don’t know how well Unibrom and Bromportrait from the 70’s and 80’s will lith as I haven’t used any that old.

Well, not quite so. You can still get smooth surface fresh Bromportrait but it takes some extra steps.
I tried both papers (rather fresh though) in lith dev, both look fine, but Bromportrait is my favourite.

My experience with old Soviet papers is rather limited. People say that lithability of such old stock heavily depends on the plant. There were four or five of them (or even more), which made the same brand of paper.
