TECHNICAL INFORMATION 

 

PREMIUM QUALITY, VARIABLE CONTRAST, BLACK AND WHITE PAPER 

ON A CHOICE OF RESIN COATED BASES 

 

ILFORD MULTIGRADE IV RC DeLuxe and ILFORD 

MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio are premium quality 

variable contrast papers. 

 

MULTIGRADE IV RC has a bright base tint. 

The image colour remains cool-to-neutral whether 

viewed in daylight or fluorescent light. 

 

MULTIGRADE IV RC is part of the ILFORD 

MULTIGRADE system and is fully compatible with 

all existing MULTIGRADE filters and equipment. It 

is equally suitable for printing from conventional 

negatives and from XP2 SUPER negatives. 

 

MULTIGRADE IV RC DE LUXE MULTIGRADE 

IV RC DeLuxe has the standard weight (190g/m

2

) 

resin coated base. It is available in three surfaces: 

1M glossy, 25M satin and 44M pearl. 

 

MULTIGRADE IV RC PORTFOLIO 

MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio has a double weight 

(250g/m

2

) resin coated base. It is available in 

two surfaces: 1K glossy and 44K pearl. 

MULTIGRADE IV RC is designed for use with all 

enlargers. 

 

MULTIGRADE IV RC can be used with most 

common safelights for black and white papers. The 

ILFORD safelights are especially recommended as 

they generally allow darkrooms to be brighter, but 

completely safe, for MULTIGRADE IV RC and many 

black and white papers. 

 

ILFORD safelights are the ILFORD SL1 darkroom 

safelight or the ILFORD 902 (light brown) safelight 

filter fitted in a darkroom lamp (for example, the 

ILFORD DL10 or DL20). A 15W bulb is 

recommended with these safelights. 

 

For direct lighting, do not expose the paper to the 

safelight for more than 4 minutes, and the distance 

between the paper and the safelight should be a 

minimum of 1.2m/4ft. 

 

Other filters can be used, for example, the Kodak 

OC and the Agfa-Gevaert G7, or the Philips 

PF710 safelamp.
