Hello everyone,
I’ve done lith printing in the past for a while but since then I sold my darkroom equipment and focused on other aspects of photography.
Today I found a pack of expired Bromexpress and Fomatone MG 132 in my room when I was digging out some other stuff.
I’m thinking of getting back to it again. I used to shoot on 5x7 obscuras and made contact prints. As I don’t have those anymore neither an enlarger and I only shoot on 35mm I’m wondering how about to use the desk lamp and make contact prints which I then would lith? I know how it sounds, observing that tiny size when to snatch but still.
After fixing and washing the print I can check it with a magnifier and if I’m not satisfied I adjust the time and/or the lamp’s distance.
I then would make larger prints out of them but that’s not an analog workflow so I don’t wanna break the rules.
