Brilliant glossy RC paper with deep blacks & punchy contrast
Elevate your black-and-white printing with Ilford’s Multigrade RC Deluxe Glossy (MGRCDL1M)—a 190 gsm resin-coated sheet featuring a bright, neutral base and a mirror-like surface that produces rich tonal depth and vibrant highlights.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Variable contrast (grades 00–5) – Offers smooth, linear contrast control using Multigrade filters or VC enlargers for expressive prints.
-
190 gsm resin-coated base – Mid-weight and quick-drying; ideal for both tray and automated processors.
-
Glossy "1M" finish – High-gloss reflective surface produces deep blacks and long tonal scale.
-
Neutral base tint with warmer tone – Enhanced 5th-gen emulsion offers richer mid-tones and deeper blacks than previous versions.
-
Strong toning performance – Works beautifully with selenium, gold toners, and more.

Why It Stands Out
The MGRCDL1M is Ilford’s top-tier glossy RC offering: the enhanced 5th-generation emulsion delivers deeper blacks, improved mid-tone spacing, and a smoother curve from grades 00 to 5—ideal for consistent, high-impact prints. Its neutral base tint ensures true whites, while its glossy surface provides impressive reflection and dynamic depth.
Final Take
For photographers craving gallery-quality glossy prints with rich tonality and variable-contrast control, Ilford RC Deluxe Glossy (MGRCDL1M) is a go-to choice. It combines premium optics, fast drying, and versatile processing in one reliable package.
