Hello John,
 
Indeed it is possible to use very diluded lith developer in combination =
with
a suitable paper to obtain the caracterstics you have discribed.
 
Ideed as others have already mentioned the book by Tim Rudman is a very =
good
guide.
 
I myself have this book and have done lith printing two times now. =
Sofar i
have limited my materials to Sterling Premium Lith in combination with =
there
LD20 developer (two parts)(the brandname is fotospeed these days but =
the
material is the same). =20
 
The firs time i used the developer i diluded 1+16 (dev+H2O) but this =
gave
very long developing times (>40 minutes)and i found the lith effect to =
be
dissapointing (maybe i chould have exposed the paper longer). The =
second
time i kept to less dilution 1+13 and this gave me very rewarding =
effect.
10-15 minutes dev-time, Pale delicat highlights in combination with =
blue
black gritty shadows.=20
 
The only downside of the sterling paper is that D-Max is limited to 1,6 =
and
that is not a very deep black.
In the future i will try out other papers such as tapestry.
 
Unfortunately the kodak lith developer is not obtaineble in the =
Netherlands
but LD20 is a good substitude. Remember that developing capacity is =
very low
because of the high delution. Sometimes only one 30X40 print and a =
teststrip
can be developed after wich you have to add more concentrate or discard =
the
old dev by new.
 
Greetings
