Subject: [pure-silver] High contrast printing?
Does anyone know of a paper/developer combination that is
capable of
producing prints that are only black, white, and a shade
or two of gray? I'm
looking to produce this effect from contrasty continuous
tone 120 film
negatives (TXP).
Thanks,
Harry.
You may be interested in "lith printing". Tim Rudman is
the expert and his book is described at:
http://worldoflithprinting.com/
Tim also has an article at:
http://unblinkingeye.com/Articles/Lith/lith.html
which explains the process.
For simple high contrast prints you can try a high
contrast but not lith developer like Kodak D-8 or D-11.
While these were once available packaged I think now you
will have to mix your own.
Also, for medium-high contrast try VC paper with the
highest contrast filter and develop in Dektol stock.
