The Ilford Multigrade RC Deluxe is an ideal choice for both darkroom novices and experienced photographers seeking consistent, high-quality black and white prints. Its primary benefit is the wide tonal range and ease of use provided by the resin-coated base, making it much faster to process and dry than traditional fibre-based papers. However, users should note that as a resin-coated paper, it lacks the archival longevity of fibre-based alternatives, which may be a consideration for long-term exhibition-grade work.

No, it works with any standard liquid or powder black and white paper developer, stop bath, and fixer.
Yes, it is designed for optical darkroom printing and responds perfectly to variable contrast light sources.
While it is long-lasting, it is not as archival as fibre-based paper. Proper washing and fixing will ensure it lasts for many years, but it is not intended for centuries-long museum storage.
Yes, RC paper can be toned with selenium or sepia toners, though the effects are often more subtle compared to fibre-based papers.
Keep them in the original light-tight bag and box, stored in a cool, dry location away from chemical fumes.
Check your safelight for leaks or ensure it is the correct color; alternatively, verify that the paper has not been exposed to light prior to processing.
Adjust your enlarger exposure time or aperture; perform a test strip to calibrate the exposure before committing to a full 24x30.5cm sheet.
Ensure your print tongs are smooth and that you are not dragging the paper against the corners of the trays during processing.
To achieve the best results with this paper, ensure your darkroom is properly equipped with a safe-light that is compatible with orthochromatic materials, typically a red filter. This paper is fully compatible with standard black and white paper developers, stop baths, and fixers. To handle the sheets, always use clean, dry hands or print tongs to prevent oily residue or scratches on the gloss finish. Store unused sheets in their original light-tight packaging in a cool, dry place to prevent fogging or humidity damage. When drying, avoid excessive heat; a natural air-dry environment or a dedicated RC paper dryer on a low setting is recommended to maintain the integrity of the resin coat.
