sroll down for English

Fomatone und Foma Retrobrom sind die einzigen Papiere aus aktueller Fertigung mit denen farbig gelithet werden kann. Auch das unter dem Oriental Label vertriebene Warmtone ist schon seit Jahren eine Fomatone Emulsion.

In den letzten Jahren traten beim Lithen von Fomatonepapieren Fehler auf. Die Ursache ist laut Foma eine andere Gelatinequalität ab der Chargen-Nr. 0777. Bei Entwicklungszeiten über 6 Minuten können sowohl größere kreisförmige Flecken (Snowball-Effekt), als auch an Marmoroberfächen erinnernde Strukturen auftauchen.

Für den SE5 Lith-Entwickler habe ich schon mehrfach auf die Möglichkeiten der Vermeidung dieser Fehler hingewiesen. Für den fertig abgestimmten Easy Lith besteht natürlich auch die Möglichkeit, durch Zugabe von Lith D und einen veränderten Workflow, dieses Übel zu verhindern. Für Anwender, die ausschließlich mit Fomatone oder Retrobrom Papieren lithen möchten, kann ich eine Variante des Easy A Konzentrates anbieten, bei welcher die beötigte Menge von Entwicklungsverzögerern schon enthalten ist.

Es mag auf den ersten Blick nicht einleuchtend erscheinen, einerseits kurze Entwicklungszeiten als Problemlösung vorzuschlagen, andererseits eine höhere Dosierung bremsender Substanzen zu verwenden. Zum Verständnis sei nochmals auf den Zusammenhang von hoher Lichtmenge für farbige Resultate und die daraus resultierende Notwendigkeit einer hohen Verdünnung des Entwicklers hingewiesen, um damit bei Zeiten zwischen 8 bis 12 Minuten sowohl farbige Lichter und tiefe Lithschatten zu erreichen. Bis vor einigen Jahren hat der Prozeß so funktioniert. Um die oben genannten Fehler zu vermeiden, sollte die Entwicklung mit den aktuellen Fomatone Chargen jedoch nach etwa 6 Minuten abgeschlossen sein. Sind also farbige Ergebnisse (wie früher) angestrebt, benötigt das Papier eine starke Überbelichtung. Der Entwickler darf aber nicht stark verdünnt werden um eine zu schnelle Entwicklung zu vermeiden. Bei der vorgeschlagenen Mischung von 50ml A + 50ml B auf ca. 900ml Wasser, müßte der Entwicklungsvorgang nach 2-3 Minuten abgebrochen werden, ein echter Litheffekt kann so nicht entstehen. Wenn derart fetten Entwicklern jodoch einen Verzögerer zugesetzt wird, landet man bei gegebener Lichtmenge (für hohe Farbigkeit) bei Entwicklungszeiten zwischen 5 und 6 Minuten. Wird mit einem zweiten Bad gearbeitet, sei es eine reine Alkalilösung, oder ein anderer Entwickler, entstehen keine Fehler, auch wenn die Gesamtentwicklungszeit dann bei 8 Minuten oder länger liegen kann.

Bei den speziell für Fomatone abgestimmten Konzentraten, kann die Arbeitslösung mit etwas weniger B angesetzt werden, wenn ein zweites Bad mit Alkalilösung erforderlich sein sollte. Beispielsweise kann dann mit 5 ml B das zweite Bad mit ca. 500 ml Wasser angesetzt werden.

 

ENGLISH

Fomatone and Foma Retrobrom are the only papers currently in production that can be used for colourful lith prints. Oriental Warmtone is also a Fomatone emulsion since some years.

In recent years, errors have occurred in the lithing of Foma papers. According to Foma, the cause is a different gelatine quality from batch no. 0777 onwards. With development times of more than 6 minutes, both larger circular spots (snowball effect) and structures reminiscent of marble surfaces can appear.

For the SE5 Lith developer I have already pointed out several times how to avoid these defects. For the ready-tuned Easy Lith there is of course also the possibility to prevent this evil by adding Lith D and a modified workflow. For users who want to lith exclusively with Fomatone or Retrobrom papers, I can offer a variant of the Easy A concentrate, which already contains the necessary amount of development retarders.

At first glance, it may not seem plausible to suggest short development times as a solution to the problem on the one hand and to use a higher dosage of retarding substances on the other. For the sake of understanding, Ie would like to point out the relationship between a high amount of light for coloured results and the resulting necessity of a high dilution of the developer in order to achieve both coloured highlights and deep lith shadows at times between 8 and 12 minutes. Until a few years ago, this is how the process worked. However, to avoid the faults mentioned above, development with the current batches of Fomatone should be completed after about 6 minutes. So if coloured results (as in the past) are desired, the paper needs a strong overexposure. However, the developer must not be heavily diluted to avoid too fast development. With the suggested mixture of 50ml A + 50ml B on approx. 900ml water, the development process would have to be interrupted after 2-3 minutes, a real lith effect cannot be created in this way. If, however, a retarder is added to such fat developers, you will end up with development times of between 5 and 6 minutes for a given amount of light (for high colourfulness). If a second bath is used, be it a pure alkaline solution or another developer, no defects occur, even if the total development time can then be 8 minutes or more.

With the concentrates specially adapted for Fomatone, the working solution can be prepared with slightly less B if a second bath with alkaline solution should be necessary. For example, 5 ml B can be used to prepare the second bath with approx. 500 ml water.

Dream-theater?

From our recent trip west. Grand Tetons, Wyoming.

Heart-wrenching beauty like a waking dream. Definitely a top five for life events. This capture from our final day there, not too very far from where Ansel made his famous mural project Snake river shot.

The clouds and rain had been building all morning. A theatrical backdrop that changed by the minute. The apex of the trip really. A few days later it changed to snow, by then we were in Montana.

How I do miss the ocean...

a bit like a love-struck boy

it's winter now

memories and emotion

the air, the surf, the sky,

even the gulls.

It must be the elemental expanse that enthralls

like sparks rising from an evening fire

beneath a clear night sky

or sparkling sunbeams cresting a wave

on final approach to the shore

a relationship of connected distance and emptiness

to the very rocks

beneath my feet

grounded here now

this moment

this shore

this heart

this sea

this light

this sky

this passionate unknown

where memory touches the future

it's winter now

and I am a bit like a love-struck boy.
