Ilford MG RC DL 44M is a pack of 25 sheets of resin-coated glossy photographic paper sized 18×24 cm, intended for black-and-white darkroom printing. The paper offers a consistent surface and predictable tonal range that supports contact printing and enlargement work. Sheets are ready-to-use and suitable for studio, educational and hobbyist workflows where ease of processing and reliable results are required.

Advantages

The resin-coated construction reduces processing time and minimizes curling, while the glossy surface produces clear highlights and defined midtones. Consistent manufacturing quality ensures repeatable results across batches, and the sheet format simplifies handling and exposure for both contact prints and enlargements. The paper is compatible with standard black-and-white chemistry and conventional darkroom equipment.

How to use

Handle sheets with clean, dry hands or tongs to avoid fingerprints on the glossy surface. Expose sheets under an enlarger or by contact printing according to your negative density and exposure test strips. Process using standard black-and-white developers, stop bath, and fixer following manufacturer-recommended times and temperatures for resin-coated papers. After fixing, wash or use rapid wash cycles appropriate for RC paper, then dry flat or hang using clips designed for photographic paper to avoid edge marks.

Usage recommendations

For consistent results, perform exposure and development tests when changing developer brands or dilutions. Use dust-free conditions and handle edges only to preserve the glossy finish. Store unopened packs flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and process within the recommended shelf life for photographic paper.
