As long as you are gretting what you want that's the main thing - just keep going.

Richard,

I have some Retrobrom in stock but have yet to try it for lith, I shall also try it for bromoils. Now I have more time on my hands this job should get done :-)

For lith developers that work with current papers, there is a guy on Photrio who is looking into making and selling a lith developer that works on this basis. He also says that it works with Ilford's new MGV paper, which is a bonus!

I think there may be a few posts about it, but this is the first I believe:

https://www.photrio.com/forum/thread...papers.171785/

Oh, and I was going to mention Moersch lith products as well, but got beaten to it, and no, I haven't used it so can't say anything else.

Anyone used Moersch's lith dev and want to comment?

Might be worth opening a new thread to discuss the Moersch's lith dev.

It might be worth having a talk with Peter from thephotoshop.ie He stocks Foma and Slavich Lith papers suitable for Lith printing. Though he has closed temporarily due to Covid.
Peter is a prolific Lith printer and no longer uses Moersch developer. He finds it too predictable
Cheers
Diz
