The Maco Expo R series (RR,RN,RF)  lith prints very well - similar to
Sterling Premium Lith in colour but a touch pinker - rather like Sterling
before they did whatever it was they say they never did. It also doesn't
have pepper fogging - which of course only developed on Sterling when the
change that never happened, happened.
There is one on P 39 which shows the soft tonal range alongside the deep
contrasty blacks of a 'good' lith print.
I would have liked to include a lot more but it only arrived as the book was
about to go to press.
Tones well in gold too -( summary on P.115)
Their lith dev also works very well.
