Elegant Satin RC Paper for Professional-Quality B&W Prints
Print with finesse using Ilford’s 5th‑generation Multigrade RC Deluxe Satin Paper (MGRCDL25M). With a soft satin surface, this 190 gsm sheet delivers refined tonal depth, neutral base tones, and variable contrast control for gallery-ready results.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Variable contrast grades 00–5 – Offers precise contrast control with Multigrade filters or VC enlarger heads, ideal for both creative freedom and consistent production workflows.
-
Satin (25M) semi-matte finish – Reduces glare more than gloss yet retains striking depth—perfect for display and framing.
-
Neutral base tint – Ensures true-to-life highlights and smooth mid-tones without color bias.
-
5th‑generation emulsion improvements – Warmer base tone, deeper blacks, smoother contrast gradation, and enhanced mid-tone separation.
-
Excellent for toning – Well-suited to selenium, gold, or split-toning processes with strong archival performance.
-
Resin-coated, 190 gsm base – Medium-weight and fast-drying; ideal for trays or automated processors

Why It Stands Out
The MGRCDL25M represents Ilford’s flagship satin resin-coated offering. The updated 5th-generation emulsion provides superior tonal smoothness, deeper blacks, and more consistent contrast response across prints. Plus, its satin finish offers a timeless look with reduced reflections—appealing to both traditionalists and those displaying prints under glass.
