Lith printing is a special process. This video is a breakdown of the Lith printing process using my current methods. Specifically Ilford Warmtone Fiber-Based Paper Developed in Arista Liquid Lith Printing Developer

Hope you enjoy!

** Update 11/23**

I felt it was necessary to add this update and a little disclaimer.

I am generally a very health-conscious person (annoyingly so if you ask my wife and daughter) but when it comes to photography, I tend to let that slide a bit more than I should at times.

Some of my favorite lith prints have been made with Arista Lith developer and Ilford Multigrade Warmtone paper. However, I have not been using this combination because of health concerns due to Formaldehyde being present in this developer.

Now to be clear, in the past, this has never been an issue for me, but my struggles with persistent COVID headaches and brain fog have kept me from treading into these waters much (basically at all).

Truthfully as long as you use these chemicals with adequate ventilation you will probably be fine, In fact, we are exposed to formaldehyde way more often than one would think.

If you are concerned, I would consider a mask as I have in the video as well as long sleeves and gloves as well. Formaldehyde fumes can also be absorbed through the skin as well.

I still have a rather large stock of Arista Lith Developer and a few other with developers that contain formaldehyde. I fully intend to use them at some point, I just need to continue with my recovery and do not want anything preventing that or contributing to a relapse. In fact, I am trying to figure out some type of fume hood in my small darkroom specifically for this.

For the time being, I will be using Moersch Lith Developer when I do Lith Print and find it really great. It is a formaldehyde-free formulation and have had great success with it! Its only drawback is it is more expensive.

There are also some formulas that I want to try and may do so in the future. I will keep you all updated if I find anything that is worthwhile!
