Default Hello from Sheffield

Hello

I am returning to film after a fairly long absence (about 4 or 5 years) and am in the process of setting up a permanent darkroom in the basement of my new house.

I'm so glad I never sold my darkroom stuff off which has been in storage (LPL 7700, RH analyser pro and all the trimmings). I used mainly to do lith printing and am looking forward to getting back into that, but a bit dismayed at the lack of true lithable papers still around.

Looking forward to reading these forums.

Cheers, Mark.

Hi Mark and welcome to the forum.

Yes, many changes have taken place over the last few years but hopefully you'll still be able to find some combinations that will appeal to you.

Hi Mark and welcome to FADU, sad to see so few lithable papers now, try checking out Tim Rudman for the latest update, there was a new one from him earlier this year,

Thanks to all.

I have read Tim Rudman's recent newsletter hence my dismay. Even my old favourite Fomatone MG seems to have undergone an emulsion change.

I have just taken delivery of some Slavich (Unibrom and Bromportrait) so I am hoping to get going with those.
