Inkpress 5×7" BW Pearl Luster Paper — 25 Sheets

This pack contains 25 sheets of 5×7 inch resin-coated black-and-white photographic paper with a pearl luster finish. It is designed for darkroom enthusiasts and professional printers who want consistent tonal depth in traditional silver-gelatin prints. The variable-contrast emulsion works with standard filter sets for full creative control. Each sheet is sized for contact printing or small enlargements.

Darkroom handling and processing notes

The paper tolerates up to 40 minutes of cumulative safelight exposure when a red or amber OC filter and a 15-watt bulb are placed at least 6.5 feet from the work area. It is compatible with common darkroom chemicals and suits both tray and machine processing, although tray processing is recommended for optimal results. Exceeding the safelight distance or time limits risks fogging the emulsion. Improper chemical temperature or agitation can also produce uneven development.

Shelf-life and storage constraints

Unexposed paper remains usable for up to two years when stored below 70 °F and under 65 % relative humidity. Higher temperatures or humidity accelerate emulsion ageing and reduce contrast range. The 25-sheet pack limits extended printing sessions without reordering. Users requiring larger formats or higher-volume packs must seek alternative products.

Questions about this item

How can I tell the prints are developing correctly on this pearl luster paper?

Correct development shows a neutral to warm black tone with a subtle pearl sheen; the resin coating should dry flat without streaks when processed in standard darkroom chemicals using recommended tray methods.

What comes in the box and do I need to buy chemicals or filters separately?

The box contains 25 sheets of 5x7 inch resin coated MultiTone BW paper; darkroom chemicals, filter sets and a safelight with red or amber OC filter and 15 watt bulb must be purchased separately.

Which safelight setup works with the 40 minute exposure tolerance of this paper?

Use a 15 watt bulb with a red or amber OC filter positioned at least 6.5 feet from the work area to stay within the 40 minute safe exposure limit.
