One Good Graded FB Paper for LITH
I've been working with my Homebrew lith developer. I think the Fortezo
I've been testing with is old. It yellows some and the prints dry with a just perceptible veil or haze. I'll test some Arista FB GR2 this evening. Their RC looks good so far but I only use RC for tests. Graded paper allows me to work with a high level of room lighting. The word 'darkroom' is not so correct. I'll order some fresh 8x10 FB GR2 Fortezo but I should have at least one other graded paper. By graded I mean those to include the few single grade papers on the market. Which one other paper should I order? Dan |

Dan,
give Fomabrom a try. JandC ought to have it. They would also have a cheaper version of Fortezo (JandC Classic Museum Graded).

I added some bromide to my homebrew print developer and the fogged Arista FB Gr. 2 cleared right up second print through. Tobias Dan Quinn wrote: I've been working with my Homebrew lith developer.
