Description
This is a new paper recently released by Foma and is highly suitable for the “Lith” printing technique. I have made a number of tests and although it does not differ a lot from the Fomatone stocks, it will give a different look due to the unique sliver formula.
From the Foma website:
RETROBROM Sp is an unique black-and-white paper using silver
bromide-iodide emulsion and made on a thick double-weight baryta
paper base (FB). The paper features a rich halftone scale, exposure or
developing flexibility, fine-grain and warm green-brown tone of the
developed silver image, with the paper base coloured in lightly green/yellow
tint. Middle level of the optical sensitivity of this material enables
application of the techniques of contact copying and even enlarging to
big formats. The specific warm tone of the image makes this paper
suitable for works in retro-style, especially for portrait photos, but also for
other photo genres (still life, landscape, structure and detail, abstraction,
etc.).
RETROBROM Sp is produced on baryta paper base, in glossy and
semi-matt surface in one contrast grade: special (Sp)
