Kentmere Paper-Lith printing


This paper should work, but hasn't worked at all, so I have had to stain them with tea.

I think the reason it hasn't worked is either the paper has the wrong finish or the chemicals are wrong, and there not so it's either the negatives or the lack of exposure when printing (darkroom) ?

Trying my Foma Lith Paper ,if you don't know what lith printing is the following site by Tim Rudman http://www.worldoflithprinting.com/will give you an insight, so trying out a normal un lith print using normal develop, and fixer , give a textured finish even though it is glossy paper, it looks and feels differnt than the Ilford Glossy Fibre based paper.

how many days does it take to destroy a fine art p2


It takes about three days to destroy a prints, by the fourth there's not much left of an image, but if you look at the pages from my journal you can see the variations.

how many days does it take to destroy a fine art print


I have carried out a number of carefully creative experiments which involve taking a fine art photography print, printed on fibre based Ilford Glossy paper, cutting them up into strips and then leaving them in water.
Yes I have the photography’s to prove it, the thing is because there were a number of prints strips pilled up on top of each other, where thy stuck to each other reacted differently to the water, so the destruction is not even or predictable from day to day or print to print.
