MOERSCH EASY LITH special edition Fomatone 500 ml concentrate

Special formulation for current Fomatone batches from batch number 0777 to avoid snowballs.

Fomatone and Foma Retrobrom are the only papers from current production that can be colour gelled. Warmtone, which is sold under the Oriental label, has also been a Fomatone emulsion for years. In recent years, errors have occurred in the lithing of Fomatone papers. According to Foma, the cause is a different gelatine quality from batch no. 0777 onwards. When development times exceed 6 minutes, both larger circular spots (snowball effect) and structures reminiscent of marble surfaces can appear.
