Description
Found your grandpa’s old expired foggy papers and don’t want to throw them out? Lith printing might be just what you’re looking for! Ansco 70 is a so-called lith developer. You can use this to make lith prints, which is a good use for old expired photo papers.
The results can be pretty artsy. The sample image is a print made using Ansco 70 on ancient Agfa Multicontrast MCP paper, which has lost all of its contrast. Developing it in a regular paper developer leads to a gray mess, but lith makes it usable again!
This kit makes a liter of stock paper dev (500 A + 500 B), used 1+17. Works better if you heat it to around 30 degrees, otherwise you’ll be rocking your trays for 20 minutes…
NOTE: Solution B consists of sodium hydroxide, also called caustic soda, used as a drain cleaner. Mixing this with water results in an exothermic reaction. Use plastic (not PET!), not glass, never use warm water, wear PBM’s, the works.
It goes without saying that NBTG is not responsible for improper handling of chemicals 😉
