Suggested fixing times
The same times and temperatures as for

fixing time, however, is shorter, and 20 seconds is
ample above 20ºC/68ºF. These recommendations
are suitable for both replenished and
non-replenished systems. In non-replenished
systems, the maximum paper throughput is 4m

Prints
MULTIGRADE IV RC prints which have been
processed as recommended in this leaflet will have
a more than adequate storage life for most
purposes. Print life will be shortened, however, in
adverse storage conditions, or if the print is
exposed to oxidising gases.

It is recommended that prints made for display are
toned to protect them from the oxidising gases that
are found in many environments. Selenium toner is
recommended as it has little effect on the image
colour of MULTIGRADE IV RC, but other protection
methods can be used including sulphide toning,
silver image stabilisers and laminating. ILFORD
ILFOGUARD laminating and encapsulating films
are recommended.
