Ilford PE papers are not good for lith printing, very few are. I have just
been sent the soon to be released Paterson Warm tone which is a resin paper,
and Paterson tell me it will lith but I have yet to test it. Ilford MGWT
will lith but the results are less dramatic. It gives more ivory tones and
benefits from hot development. It can give interesting results in second
pass lith development after bleaching though. Any of the lith devs work well
(Dokulith is not this sort of lith developer)
By the way, if you want a book I can do one through the post for you. A
German edition is being discussed but I have no idea if or when it will come
