Premium 8 × 10″ Black‑and‑White Variable‑Contrast Paper
Craft stunning large‑format prints with Ilford’s 5th‑generation MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe Pearl—an 8 × 10″ resin‑coated paper featuring a subtly textured pearl finish, delivering exceptional tonal depth and gallery-ready quality.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Variable‑contrast grades 00–5: Control light-to-dark transitions precisely using Multigrade filters or VC enlarger heads, perfect for expressive control or consistent workflow.
-
190 gsm resin-coated base: Medium-weight sheets that resist curling, dry quickly, and are ideal for tray or automated processing.
-
Pearl (44M) finish: Offers a lustrous textured surface that reduces reflections compared to glossy paper, while still maintaining deep blacks and extended tonal range.
-
Neutral base tint & linear contrast: Ensures warm white highlights, rich blacks, and smooth midtones—with even contrast response for grades 00–5.
-
Excellent tonability: Responds beautifully to selenium, gold, or split-tone toners—enhancing archival quality and creative options.

Why It Stands Out
This Ilford 8 × 10″ Pearl RC Deluxe combines the convenience of RC base with a tactile premium appearance. The pearl finish adds dimensional texture without compromising tonal richness. With the 5th-generation emulsion, you get deeper blacks, more even contrast across grades 00–5, and streamlined workflow—making it a go-to classic for both novices and pro darkroom printers.
Final Take
If you're after stunning, grain-free enlargements with elegant tonality and flexible contrast control, the Ilford MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe Pearl is an outstanding choice—delivering premium feel, reliable performance, and creative freedom.
