Bro, do you even lith?

I recently picked up some expired photo paper from The Resource Exchange–a kind of thrift store for artists here in Philadelphia.

I had never heard of the paper but it had “Bro” in the name which made me think it would be a good lith paper. For $6 I got about 15 sheets of Agfa Brovira BW 119. It looks to be from the 60s or 70s.

A few sheets were fogged, which was to be expected.

I googled it to see if people had any experience with it in lith. Of course, there were about a hundred different opinions. Some people claimed it didn’t lith and others that it just needed a ton of time It turned out really well in lith for me so that’s that. Here are the final prints.
