Just discovered this technique and got curious. I know not much about lithography, only that it’s based on water-friendly vs water-repellent materials. I recently saw some Lithographs in the Toulouse-Lautrec exposition. Paper lithography seems to use the same principle, but with paper as the medium. Photocopies can be transferred and gum arabic plays a role. This is just from skim reading and collecting some links. This is just a note to myself to look more closely at the technique and whether I could use it, if time permits.
