Alan,
Yes I realised that but as there are no RC lith papers around these days, that are known to lith well, I thought it would be worth bringing it into the discussion.
A friend of mine, a very experienced lith printer, managed to get a lith print (of sorts) from Ilford WT RC but it took a lot of effort - many passes through very hot lith dev and bleaching backs. The result was so dissapointing he hasn't bothered again.
Unfortunately, the only currenty available lith paper appears to be the Foma Retrobrom.
For my own lith work I have a stash of Slavich and a few other old lith papers that lith well. I am hoping this new Retobrom does lith well because we need more people producing lith prints.
Maybe Foma will sometime bring out a RC version of Retrobrom - that would be welcome.
Neil.
