Graded FB Paper

Probably the last of the graded non resin coated b&w papers available. Thanks to B&H for carrying it.

A beautiful lith-able paper, with quirks

This is one of the few current papers that can be used for Lith Printing (over-expose, and under-develop using special dilute lith developer). Challenging to get good results, but lovely when you do. This paper requires very little over-exposure, compared to vintage papers - just 2/3 to 1 stop over normal. Also it is best in relatively fresh lith developer. Too much over-exposure and too much old brown, you will get a blotchy dark and hideous result. Handle it well and you get lovely rose tone highlights with gritty deep brown shadows (un-toned). I am sure it tones beautifully.
