Moersch SE5 Lith Master Kit
I am awaiting delivery (from Silverprint) a Moersch SE5 Lith Master Kit which looks interesting. I suspect my 5 litre containers of Champion lith dev are now a tad too old (at least 12 years!) so I have decided to give the Moersch kit a go to see if I can get my lith printing going again.
If anyone has used this particular lith printing developer / kit I would be pleased to hear of your experiences. Also ordered at the same time some Fomotone 532 Nature to try out with the lith dev. Anyone lith deloped Fomotone 532 Nature ? If so do let us know how it went Neil.

Good luck with the trials.
Sorry, can't help re the developer or the paper as I've not tried either yet, but I'd be interested to know how you find them. I'm still getting to grips with LD20 as a developer, but now have some Kentona and some Fomatone Chamois to try along side my Fomatone. |

Hi, will do on the trials.
I have used Fomotone (not bad) but not used Chamois - I would like to know how you get on with that. Hopefully I will soon have the items and the darkroom will cool down a tad :-) Neil.

the fomatone nature liths very well from what I have seen, A friend of mine did some lith prints on Nature and they looked very nice, similar to the standard fomatone,perhaps a shade cooler due to the base being whiter, but as good as standard fomatone, which is not surprising, they both use the same emulsion recipe, it's just the papr base thats different, Richard

One thing I've noticed when looking at some of the lith prints on Flickr (am I allowed to mention that name?) is that the SE5 dev comes in three parts and that seems to give lots of possible combinations of dilutions. With a bit of luck that may give some more options in terms of the colours you can get out of the paper.

Thanks, Richard, that's good news to hear as I like a cooler lith print. Neil.

That's been my observation with Fomatone and the Fotospeed LD20. Never having tried lith before I've been intrigued by the results, but I think I prefer tones nearer to pink than the intense yellow/orange/brown palette that I've managed to achieve so far.
Good luck and I look forward to seeing your results.

I've used the Moersch lith dev a lot; it's a very good dev, you'll like it...
