ILFORD MG RC Deluxe 1M Glossy 13x18 cm Black & White Photographic Paper, 100 Sheets

The ILFORD MG RC Deluxe 1M is a premium black and white photographic paper designed for enlarging and contact printing. With a resin-coated (RC) base and glossy (1M) surface finish, this paper delivers sharp, high-contrast prints with excellent detail and a bright white base tint. The Multigrade (variable contrast) system allows you to control contrast using Ilford Multigrade filters (grades 00-5), giving you creative flexibility. Each pack contains 100 sheets of 13x18 cm paper, ideal for both manual and machine processing. The paper is orthochromatic, sensitive to blue and green light, and can be used with Ilford 902 or similar amber/red safelights. It dries quickly and offers good archival stability when processed correctly. Compatible with toning for additional creative effects.
