LITH-printing

[Jaap Los <imagefotografie@xxxxxx>]

To all,
Is there anybody who has experience in the technics of LITH black/white
printing. You need ordinary b/w negatives, special LITH developer and
LITH blue sensitised printing paper . The idea is, that the paper will
be heavily overexposed (at least by a factor 3). It then takes a long
developing time for the image to appear. Once it appears things are
stepped up very quickly and if you leave the paper too long in the
developer you get a very high contrast and grains like sugar lumps. So
you'll have to 'snatch' the paper out of the dish at the right moment
and throw it into the stopbath. The colour of the image varies between
white-rose-pink-brownish pink-black-deep black depending on the time
you  leave the paper in the developer. In all you can get very beautiful
images and very interesting effects. I want to try out this proces on IR
negatives! Anybody ever tried this?
