AW: Lith printing with Ilford papers

["Dr. Harald Hoyer" <h.hoyer@xxxxxxx>]

Many thanks for your advices Tim!

I bought your book "The photographer's master printing course" two weeks
ago. From my sight the arrangment, the technical contents and the examples
are excellent. Unfortunately there is no german translation available at the
market.
The short chapter about lith printing is also informative for absolute
beginners especially the material tips on page 104. But it seems not easy to
get a lith developer for paper in Germany.
So perhaps you can help me solving the following two problems:

- which is a good paper / developer combination for beginners ?
- where is it possible top buy paper lith developer

I am sure I will buy your book about lith printing if it is available at
amazon.de because this is the easiest way. I hope they will sell it in 1 or
2 months - if not then I will make an order from the author ;-)


                                  Best wishes

                                              Harald
