Roll format for high-volume darkroom work
Ilford Multigrade V RC Deluxe Pearl is a 42-inch by 98-foot roll of black-and-white photographic paper designed for darkroom printing. The resin-coated base keeps processing times short and drying fast. Medium weight at 190 gsm gives a substantial feel without the handling demands of fibre-based stock. It suits beginners, students and professionals who want a full tonal range from a single variable-contrast emulsion.
Variable contrast range defines the practical limits
The emulsion covers grades 00 to 5, so one box replaces multiple fixed-grade papers. Contrast is adjusted with standard multigrade filters during exposure. Pearl surface reduces glare while retaining detail in highlights and shadows. Resin coating limits wet processing to conventional chemistries and temperatures; it is not intended for alternative processes that require fibre base absorption.
98-foot length gives extended headroom for large
The roll yields dozens of full-width sheets or hundreds of smaller formats before a changeover. Wide 42-inch width accommodates panoramic negatives and mural-sized enlargements without seams. Neutral base tint ensures consistent toning results across the entire length. When the roll ends, a new roll must be loaded; there is no sheet-box convenience for single-print sessions.
