   A variety of lith films are available here in the USA. Lith films
are slow orthochromatic films which are processed in well lighted
darkrooms; the same level of lighting used to process Graded Paper.
   Any film I'd think would lith process. Panchromatic film processing
would be done in complete darkness. So, slow ortho films are used.
  As for developer a very low sulfite carbonate plus hydroquinone
mix will likely work well; does for paper. Dan
