## Overview

Ilford's Multigrade IV RC Deluxe Resin Coated VC Variable Contrast Black & White Enlarging Paper offers photographers a premium 5x7 inch format with 25 sheets per pack, featuring a pearl surface that enhances image quality and allows for versatile contrast adjustments.

## Description

A versatile paper for general black and white enlargements, this box of 25 sheets of 5 x 7" Multigrade IV RC DeLuxe Paper from Ilford features a pearl 44M surface finish that has a more textured appearance than glossy paper to help reduce overwhelming surface reflections, yet still retains some reflectivity to achieve deeper black values for a longer apparent tonal scale. Its bright white base tint delivers a cool-to-neutral image color, and it responds well to select toners, especially selenium, for increasing the effective print lifespan. As a variable contrast paper, it responds to seven full grades of contrast during printing, when using multigrade filters, and it is suitable for printing both conventional black and white negatives as well as chromogenic black and white negative films. Additionally, the paper can be processed using standard black and white chemistry in either trays or using machine processors.
