FOR ONE-SHOT DEVELOPMENT OF LITH PAPER: Dilute 1 part developer with 4 parts water as a starting point. Develop 2 - 3 minutes at 68F/20C.

My experience with lith-printing shows that it work better when diluted more. My standard dilution are 1+15 - 1+25. This gives the sulfite level below 5g/l that is needed for infections development to begin.

I agree - I tried a similar developer and found no infectious development at lower dilutions. At higher dilutions, it probably oxidizes quickly, since it contains no buffer of sulfite bound with formaldehyde.

Compare to this (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Anyone know if this is the same as Paralith? Heard of Rerodol? I can't seem to find these two lith developers. Reprodol is A/B and Paralith is single solution
