Taken during the Edinburgh Festival 2008, Printed on Fortezo Museum w/Fotospeed LD20

Tim Rudman is a recognised authority on Lith printing, he has published a couple of books and runs workshops on the technique. If like me you are interested in lith printing, Tims periodical updates on the state of available papers that work with the process are invaluable reading.

his latest update is here

There are details of changes to the Kentmere range as Ilford takes over production, out go Kentona and Art Collection. But there is work under way for a new Kentona, whether it is lithable is another question.

Another sorry story is the discontinuation of Fotospeed lith, which was made by kentmere, but again Fotospeed are working on a successor, apparently to begin testing soon!

But to sign off on a high note, there is hope out there for anyone who misses Forte Polywarmtone. The wonderful people at Adox are proposing to bring this old favorite back, they need to people to sign up and buy up the first run of paper before production begins, so go here to check it out. I am confident they can pull it off, this is the same company that is Reviving Agfa MCC111, I received a sample pack of the first run and was very impressed, they should be starting full production later this year!
