Lith printing

Most folks, even darkroom rats, haven't done lith.  It is a real shame because lith gives such a range of looks that you can't get from any other process.  Depending on the look you want you might want the intense colors possible from Fomatone with nearly exhausted developer,.  You may want ultra gritty with a hint of warmth you can get from Fomabrom or Slavich.  Lith tones so much easier than standard printing do give wonderful split tones with toners like gold, selenium , sepia and copper.  Lith gives the practitioner a pallet nearly as deep as a gum printer.  A large number of my prints are lith.  Here is one with the deep yellows with the deeper shadows toned in selenium to make them more gray.  Another example on the samp page is the bus.  The print was lifted earlier in the session and the selenium toning gave a nice split to make the bus seem 3D.  A different approach takes a more neutral print with a wery grainy look for the El tracks.  This was done with Arista lith very early in the session to minimize the color.
I'm be giving a talk about lith at Photostock 12 this year.  It is a great time and I'd encourage all film people to drop by
