A Beautiful Paper with Considerable Flexibility

Ilford RC warm tone printing paper is an essential tool for any print enthusiast wanting flexibility in printing images of nature, people and bright settings. I love the images it helps me make and perfectly matches my expectations using all filters. The paper is firm tho not as heavy as older double thick paper. The pearl finished is breathtaking in beauty tho I also love the glossy and silk options too for different uses. Adorama is also a great supplier and I appreciate their prices, service and varieties to choose from for my darkroom.

Ilford papers are extremely great

Good thing that Ilford is still making papers and film. I have used Ilford film and papers for over 40 years one of the best enlarging warmtone multigrade papers as is their fiber base papers. Its too bad that there isn't more choices of film and enlarging papers anymore. Since the digital age very few photographers even know how to process in a darkroom any more. Great papers from Ilford.

Excellent paper

I make multiple -image assembled portraits. Each fragment is about 3 1/2x5; each printed from a different close-up negative. The resulting portraits are about 3'x5'. I trim each fragment and then scotch-tape them together and constantly rearrange and reposition until the arrangement feels finished to me. Then, with an X-acto knife and straight edge, I cut all of these layered fragments down to single layer. I mount the taped up piece onto acid-free foam-core and them all of the tape comes off. I develop the paper in LPD developer and selenium tone them ever so slightly until the blacks take on a hint of a reddish tint. I love the tonal qualities that I can get out of it. Please don't discontinue this paper!

Sepia toning results are perfect

Excellent fine art prints especially sepia toned. Very reponsive to the variable chemistry to produce tones from rich chocolate brown to a golden hue. Split toning results are very good also, although split sepia plus selenium muddies the golden hues somewhat. The paper dry mounts well in a press but other hand mounting proceedures I've tried have been less successful.
