Re: lith printing.

Using Fotospeed Lith developer at 60ml A and 60ml B in 1 liter of water dilution, the Arista.edu paper gives GOLFBALL grain that is really incredible. At least, I love it. I have a student doing these vacant night time scenes of industrial walls sort of with a single light shining, snow on the ground, and the grain is really quite effective to set a mood. I have not seen this kind of grain on a paper otherwise. I find Ilford Multigrade IV to be blah and not very good, Bergger paper is fine grained and caramel toned and pretty darn good. Kentmere Fineprint is good....pinky. That's all...
