I would like to try lith printing.

I see Silverprint do Moersch EASYLITH 200ml. Is this a good starting point?

Also can somebody recommend a paper to go with this? I have heard that RC papers are not suitable, is that the case?

Thank you for any info

Your best bet is to sign on to Tim Rudmans newsletter, it details all available developers and paper.

Fomatone 131 is as good a starting point as any. The Adox MCc110 also liths, but I found it to be very gritty.

I've also used Kentmere FinePrint and Bromide papers in homebrew developers - Subtle effects can be had with the lightest of pinks/yellows in the highlights. I've also found the Kentmere VC Select reacts quite well, so don't discount trying a paper just because it says RC on the box.

Should point out that I mix my own lith developers rather than buying in specially made ones.

Yes Moersch Easylith is fine and get some of the mentioned Fomatone paper: 131 gloss or 132 matt.
