Ilford Multigrade RC Deluxe Pearl for Professional Darkroom Printing

As a leading printing shop Ilford stockist, we provide high quality materials for traditional silver gelatin processing.

When setting up your darkroom, selecting the right paper surface is critical for managing reflections and visual depth. This specific pearl finish offers the deep blacks associated with glossy papers while reducing the glare often found in high shine alternatives.
