Technical Data
MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio paper is designed for use with most enlargers and printers, that is, those fitted with either a tungsten or tungsten halogen light source. It is also suitable for use with cold cathode (cold light) light sources designed for variable contrast papers. Other cold cathode (cold light) and pulsed xenon light sources may give a reduced contrast range.
Safelight Recommendations
MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio paper can be used with most safelights for black and white papers. The 902 safelight filter is recommended.
Contrast Control
Seven full grades of contrast, in half grade steps, are available on MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio paper. Contrast is controlled by using MULTIGRADE hand filters, MULTIGRADE 600 equipment, other variable contrast enlarger heads or colour enlarger heads.
Machine Processing
MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio paper can be processed in all conventional machines for black and white resin coated papers. It is not suitable, however, for activation type processing.
Finishing
MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio paper responds in the same way as other resin coated papers to the usual techniques of toning, chemical reduction and retouching. It can be mounted using the standard techniques for resin coated papers.
Storage and Display
MULTIGRADE IV RC Portfolio prints which have been processed as recommended 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.
