Yesterday I made three prints, all lith prints. I've been accumulating old paper to use, and now have what seems like a lifetime supply. So much fun.

One 8x12" print on 11x14 Agfa Brovira G3 single weight from the 1970s. The print is for my partner; she has a staff show at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts coming up.
Two 6x8" prints on 8x10 paper, one on Kodak Polylure from the 1960s, and one on Luminos Portrait that expired in 1974. Same negative with completely different results.

It felt great to be in the darkroom again, after lots of homework and studying. Needed a break. :smile:

One print, fairly high contrast and tricky as expected. I really need to find a faster way to pre-flash now that I'm in my kitchen darkroom (and not my dedicated darkroom), today it took a lot of time to find the proper time.

Just before taking the darkroom down I decided to test my 135 mm with my 4x5" negatives, and I discovered that I can print on 8x10" without any real issues. I thought that was too small, so next session I'll be printing large format for the very first time. Exciting!

Printed quite a few on cheap, splotchy, fogged 4x5 Polymax II RC this week just to see if I can make it useable for prints. It was an interesting exercise, and not futile as I have managed to just about replicate the look of my Multitone paper control print. The paper will only work for prints I need to bleach though. It was also a cheap way to play with how contrast filters work for the first time.

It has been many months since I've been in the darkroom, but this afternoon I ventured forth for a session. I printed some old 2-1/4X3-1/4 negatives taken with a Medalist II on Verichrome Pan in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Somehow, I had never printed them before. I'm glad to say I haven't completely lost my skills, but VP is pretty easy to print.

Three lith prints. One 8x12" from a 9x12 negative that is a picture that my girlfriend took while using my grandmother's old Agfa box camera. It's for her next staff show at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
Then two little 6x8 prints for me, testing out some old Kodak paper, and some Luminos Portrait that expired in 1974 - both were perfect for lith printing. Yay!
It was so much fun to be in the darkroom again, during an incredibly intense semester at school combined with wacky times at work.

Indeed it is-I've just been printing some VP negs from 2001 developed in PMK and the prints look fantastic!

First fiber prints I've done in a long time. Months not printing at all due to my hip, years before that just RC.

I just developed two sheets of 5x4 "taco" style.
I'd bought a couple of holders from ebay and the seller told me that one had FP4 in and was marked "B&W" and the other had Velvia 100F in and was marked "colour".

So yesterday I shot the FP4 holder in one of my foamcore sliding-box lensed cameras and developed the film in D23 1+1 for 12 minutes.

When I just took it out of the tank, it didn't look right - it didn't look fixed and the rebates were foggy.

After a lot of refixing and faffing about it only then dawned upon me that it might not be FP4, upon which I checked the notch code and, yep, I've just developed two sheets of Velvia 100F in D23.

sigh.

Still, the 10x8 paper negs I developed earlier on in caffenol cm look OK, if a trifle overexposed. The light changed a bit during the exposure. hmm

I tried Lith printing for the first time using Moersch Easy Lith and some old papers I have collected. After a couple of false starts with some papers that did not lith well and a to hard negative that was not working out, I am hooked.

Environmental portrait of my brother in law. Used a cambo 4x5 monorail, 300mm Geronar at f16, 1/30 sec, PL100 film rated at 50 iso, souped in PyroCat-HD - 23 minutes semi stand and printed on Ilford RC. He is a farmer so I dragged him over to some grain bins and had him lean up against the ladder. Was VERY bright with clear skies and snow on the ground.

I tried out some old 2x3 Velox paper as enlarging paper for some 110 negatives. They look pretty good once I found that 4 minutes was the print time sweet spot. I also started on some prints of my daughter to send to her grandmother who is making a B&W collage of her 2 grandkids.

I swilled a couple of 10x8 sheets of fomapan100 around in caffenol-cm for about 13 mins. In a tray. In the dark. One at a time. Listening to Shostakovich on the radio. And a metronome on my phone.

Nice!
I developed 2 rolls of Fomapan 400 from the weekend's Chinese New Year festivities.

Currently waiting for the next agitation of some Kentmere 100 in semi stand 510-pyro. I finally stepped up my game this week to 8x10 printing with a couple of lith prints on old 1968 exp Luminos Bromide N semi matte drying on the rack. That was a tough paper to figure out.

Today a fine carbon print and tomorrow 3 more prints. I love these alt-photo processes. Carbon printing is a beautiful (but intensive) process with great tonality and beautiful (lasting) black.
I'll scan the results later this week when completely dried.

I did three rolls of 35mm Delta 3200 that have been sitting in my "to develop" pile for a long time. Pretty much a waste of time as there don't appear to be many useable shots and many were of an ex girlfriend from almost ten years ago that I'm not a fan of. I haven't don't contact sheets yet so I'm not sure if anything is correctly exposed. I have no idea what speed I shot them at (I assumed 3200). Tomorrow, more film developing, contact sheets, and maybe some prints if I'm lucky.

Some paper negatives out of my 5x7, mostly for testing the film holders. First 5x7 camera use ever and some surprising results.
