Don't despair Gary, there are plenty of emulsions that lith print well, in
fact many actually lith print better - it's just that this emulsion has this
lovely multi coulour response to selenium. The number of emulsions that do
lith print is actually increasing which is good news, and some new paper
manufacturers actually make the point that this or that new paper can lith
print - like the new Paterson warm tone.
With the vogue for new WT papers the future looks bright I would say.
