Here are a couple of examples, the first is on Ilford Warmtone and the second is Kentmere Kentona, both from a 5×4 negative One important point though, the RC version definitely doesn’t work, -you have to use the FB. The effect is often so ‘grainy’ though, that it can’t be used for large format negs unless you particularly want them to look like they were shot on Delta 3200 on a half frame camera. The image goes speckled in a nice way though and takes on a khaki sort of colour which I find attractive for certain images. The Ilford warmtone produces a Lith type image, but isn’t ideal, it’s not really supposed to be a ‘lithable’ paper, the split isn’t as pronounced as with some other papers and you don’t get any pink tones. The Kentona gives a very pink result which is very typical of Lith prints, but I’m not crazy about it.
I couldn’t find any proper Lith paper, but remembered that old Kentmere Kentona worked well and Ilford Warmtone FB could be used too. I wasn’t that bothered about doing contact sheets that night, so I mixed up some old Kodalith dev which I’ve had for over twenty years (it seems to last forever) and chose a suitable neg. His question made me remember how much I used to enjoy that particular type of printing, so I decided a demonstration would be the easiest way to let him see just what it was capable of. I told him that there wasn’t much to it, the technique is pretty straightforward if you are just playing around with it, the difficulty comes in trying to get repeatable results. He was asking me how a real Lith print looked, as he had only ever seen them in books.
