Premium Variable-Contrast B&W Print Paper
Unleash your darkroom creativity with Ilford’s fifth-generation MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe Pearl—a bright white, resin-coated paper designed to deliver stunning black-and-white prints with rich tonal depth and subtle highlights.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Variable-contrast grades 00–5: Achieve precise tonal control using Multigrade filters—perfect for both beginners and fine art printmaking.
-
190 gsm resin-coated base: Medium weight for easy handling, fast processing, and durability in both tray and machine development.
-
Pearl (44M) textured finish: Moderates reflections more than glossy paper while maintaining depth and contrast for professional-quality prints.
-
Neutral tone base: Ensures bright whites and true neutral blacks, ideal for archival clarity and toning.
-
Enhanced Generation V emulsion: Delivers smoother tonal transitions, deeper blacks, and consistent response across contrast grades.
-
Excellent toning performance: Works well with a variety of toners for creative prints
