Photo paper Ilford MG RC DL 1M 13x18 glossy resin-coated 1 meter roll

Ilford MG RC DL 1M 13x18 glossy resin-coated 1 meter roll is a professional photographic paper designed for producing 13x18 cm prints. The paper uses a resin-coated base and a glossy surface to deliver sharp image detail, strong color density and reliable paper handling in roll format. Its construction promotes fast drying and repeatable quality, making it suitable for continuous lab workflows and studio print runs.

Advantages

The resin-coated structure ensures dimensional stability and resistance to handling marks, while the glossy surface enhances contrast and perceived sharpness. The 1-metre roll format simplifies uninterrupted printing of multiple 13x18 prints without frequent paper changes and reduces waste from cut-sheet feeding. The paper is formulated to produce consistent tonal response and predictable development behaviour with standard photographic processing.

Suitable for

• Photographic laboratories producing medium-format or small print batches
• Studio environments printing client contact sheets and proofs at 13x18 cm
• Event photography services requiring multiple identical prints quickly
• Educational photography courses and darkroom practice with roll feed printers

Key specifications

• Format: 1-metre roll for 13x18 cm prints
• Surface: glossy resin-coated
• Paper base: resin-coated construction for quick drying
• Image characteristics: high sharpness and good color/tonal density on glossy surface
• Handling: roll format for continuous printing and reduced paper changes

How to use

Load the roll into compatible roll-feed printers or lab equipment following the device manufacturer’s instructions for roll paper. Ensure the printer settings match the glossy resin-coated paper profile and the target print size of 13x18 cm. Use appropriate processing chemistry and temperature control for RC paper to achieve expected drying and image stability. After exposure and processing, allow brief drying time typical for resin-coated papers before cutting or trimming individual prints.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, store the roll in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Match printer or enlarger profiles to glossy RC media and verify test prints when switching paper batches or processing chemistry to maintain consistent output.
