Ilford Multigrade V RC Deluxe Pearl 5x7

Ilford Multigrade V RC Deluxe Pearl is a resin-coated black-and-white photo paper with a pearl surface. The pack contains 100 sheets measuring 5x7 inches. It is made for darkroom printers who want a wide contrast range from grade 00 to 5.

Upgrade from Multigrade IV RC Deluxe

The fifth-generation emulsion replaces the previous Multigrade IV RC Deluxe version. Photographers moving from that earlier paper will see improved tonal rendering and more consistent results across the full contrast scale.

Limits of resin-coated pearl surface

Resin-coated base processes and dries faster than fibre-based paper but does not reach the same maximum density or archival permanence. The pearl finish reduces glare yet offers less surface texture choice than glossy or matt alternatives.

Questions about this item

What darkroom enlarger or tray size is needed for the 5x7 inch sheets?

The paper measures 5x7 inches, so any enlarger mask or processing tray that accepts that format will accommodate the 100 sheets in the pack.

How do I expose and develop the Multigrade V RC Deluxe Pearl paper, and what step is often missed?

Expose under a variable-contrast enlarger using filters for grades 00 to 5, then process in standard RC chemistry; the step often missed is matching the filter grade to the negative contrast before making the final print.

When will the 100-sheet pack need to be replaced, and how should it be stored until then?

Replace the pack once all 100 sheets are used; store unused sheets in the original light-tight box at cool room temperature to preserve the 190gsm emulsion quality.
