Product and intended users

Ilford 1180266 Multigrade V RC Deluxe Pearl Photo Paper is a resin-coated, variable-contrast black-and-white printing paper supplied in a pack of 100 sheets. It is designed for darkroom enthusiasts, students and professional printers who want a versatile pearl-surface material for producing exhibition-quality prints from negatives.

Behaviour under sustained printing sessions

The 5th-generation emulsion delivers a full tonal range across contrast grades 00 to 5 with deeper blacks and improved mid-grade spacing compared to earlier versions. A slightly warmer base tint and smoother sensometric curve provide consistent results during long printing runs, while excellent toning properties allow reliable experimentation with selenium, sepia or other toners without the handling demands of fibre-based stock.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that your darkroom safelight is suitable for variable-contrast papers and that your enlarger can produce the required contrast grades. Confirm you have a print processor or trays capable of handling the sheet dimensions, plus adequate washing and drying space for 100 resin-coated prints. Ensure your chemistry is fresh and mixed to the correct dilution for RC papers.

Questions about this item

Will the Ilford 1180266 paper generate any heat or noise during long darkroom sessions?

No, this is a passive photographic paper that produces no heat, noise, or power draw while you print or process it.

What chemicals and equipment must I already have to use this Multigrade V RC paper?

You need a darkroom enlarger with variable-contrast filtration, plus standard black & white developer, stop bath, fixer, wash water and safelight.

Can I print this 5th-generation paper on the same enlarger and filters I used for Multigrade IV RC Deluxe?

Yes, the paper works with existing variable-contrast enlargers and filters; it simply delivers a warmer base tint, deeper blacks and smoother mid-grade transitions.
