I tried a lith print on this paper for the first time the other day, using LD20 developer, 1+19 at around 33 deg. C.

It works, but I notice a small amount of pepper fogging in the evenly toned sky area (a scan of the print is in my Lith Album (http://www.film-and-darkroom-user.org.uk/forum/album.php?albumid=206), alongside a version on Fomatone 131, although it's hard to discern the black speckled areas in the scan).

Has anyone else tried this paper in LD20 and experienced similar?

I plan on pursuing its use for lith, using Moersch Easylith or SE5, as the beautiful results that Wolfgang Moersch shows in his MCC Flickr album (http://www.flickr.com/photos/26921666@N05/sets/72157622117332061/with/3936407983/) do show that it has great potential.

I've not used LD20 for some time, preferring to mix my own developers from scratch. Pepper dots with MCC-110 has always been a problem for me to a lesser or greater extent. I was going to mix a high bromide/formaldehyde batch this afternoon to see if things improved.
