Response to Kodalith Ortho

Do not get confused: Lith and Orto are not the same!!! A Lith film is an extreme contrast graphic film, which additionally is red insensitive. The other ortho films on the market can have almost any contrast range from normal (Maco 100) to extreme hard (any Lith film). The Maco Ortho films are meant to have a pictorial grayscale, but in the case of the ORT 25 with high contrast. The Lith is made only to separate into black or white, since this is the purpose of a graphic film. With a low contrast developer you can tickle out a little more pictorial rendition, but I am afraid hardly any. I predict that you will have insuficient results in any developer if you want to achieve a negative for pictorial use.
