Highly versatile and well-suited for all traditional black and white printing needs, this 30" x 98' roll Ilford MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe features a pearl 44M surface finish that has a more textured appearance than glossy paper to help reduce overwhelming surface reflections, yet still retains some reflectivity to achieve deeper black values for a longer apparent tonal scale. This Generation V paper features an updated emulsion with a more linear contrast profile that responds consistently and accurately to the full 00-5 range of Multigrade filters for fine tuning the look of prints. The paper also features a truly neutral base tint and responds especially well to different toning solutions for adjusting the final print color. The enhanced emulsion also affords deeper blacks along with enhanced mid-tone separation for greater flexibility when printing negatives of varying densities. Additionally, it is suitable for printing both conventional black and white negatives as well as chromogenic black and white negative films and the paper can be processed using standard black and white chemistry in either trays or using machine processors.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. how many roll in the box?

A: This is a special type of film called a Bulk Roll which is 100 (feet) long. Bulk Rolled film is used in conjunction with a special loading machine and reusable film canisters. This was very commonly used in the past by newspaper agencies, magazines and colleges where film is used in greater mass. A 100 roll could commonly yield 15-18 rolls of film depending on how many frames were loaded by the user into the reusable canisters. Unfortunately we no longer carry/sell the bulk loading machines that are required for use with this type of film. You would have to find that type of machine used someplace.

Q: 2. What is the exposure latitude for Delta 3200?

A: It is less than most other BW films. There is basically no underexposure latitude, any amount and the photos will have no shadow detail. It is more tolerant of overexposure, so err in that direction if you're not sure of exposure. Developer makes a big difference. Kodak Tmax Developer or Ilford DDX are the only ones that really give great results. D-76 is terrible.

Q: 3. With the 70mm Roll film, it does not have backing paper, can this not be loaded in daylight / subdued light?

A: It is exactly like bulk 35mm film only twice as wide.You need either a 70mm bulkloader or a really clean changing bag to load it into the 70mm cassette. And of course you need a 70mm camera or back. The real showstopper is tracking down a development tank. If you don't know all this stuff and have the equipment already this is not for you. I would buy this if there were a smaller minimum quantity.

Q: 4. Is it an expired film? cause the date written is 04/11

A: No, this is fresh dated film, at least a year out.

Q: 5. 1) What is the expiration date?2) How to ship to Beijing China? EMS or FedEx or other? 3) In the ship of transportation through X light?Thank you

A: 1/ The expiration date is the date stamped by the manufacturer on the film box and it is the date until the manufacturer guarantees best performance under standard exposure and development. Film can be used few years after the expiration date without serious quality loss if the film is stored at low temperature (freezer).If not stored at low temperatures the film starts losing quality due to oxidation (slow process of fogging). Fogging becomes visible few years after the expiration date.2. How to ship to China? - sorry I'm not qualified to answer this question3. Do not let film go through X-ray - that will destroy unprocessed film that (undeveloped). Use special X-ray protective material to keep film safe when it passes through X-ray machines.

Q: 6. How do I empty the Cart?

A: One easy way is to reduce the quantity count to zero.

Q: 7. What is expiration date of this film?Thank you.

A: Unfortunately, we do not have access to our inventory and cannot provide this type of information; however, any film that was within 6-months of its expiration date would be sold as short dated and listed as such on our site. All other film will be at least 6 months out from its expiration date.

Q: 8. If I stop a roll before I use each film shot how can I reinsert it to finish the shots?

A: Every film shooter runs into the situation where the film in the camera is not the right one. However, there are be too many exposures left to waste. What to do? If you shoot say 20 exposures, you can rewind the film back into the canister and reload with a different film. Then you can go back to the roll you shot 20 exposures and finish the roll. Here is how to do it. Release the film advance mechanism and slowly rewind the film. You must listen and feel for the film releasing from the take up spool. The moment you feel/hear that click/pop, stop rewinding. You can open the camera back and you will have the film tab visible. Tape the tab to the film canister and write how many exposures have been made on the roll. Make this this mark big and obvious. You do not want to load this roll into the camera at a later time and think there is a full roll. If you do that, you will double expose all the previously shot images. If you misjudge and rewind the film all the way back into the canister, you can use a 6" piece of film (you can use processed but junk negative film you probably have in your collection) and put some double faced tape on one end. Shove that end into the canister through that black felt opening and hook the end of the film with the double face tape and pull it out. Or you can use this product to fish the film out. Kaiser 35mm Film retriever B&H # KAFRZ Now put the film back in the container it came in and mark it with the type of film and exposures taken. This is more safety to prevent messing up. When it comes time to reload the exposed film, take the tape and put it on the back of the camera so the number of exposures is big and obvious and thread the film as normal. Now here is the trick. You must have a lens cap on or no lens but a body cap on. Put the aperture to the highest number, the shutter to the highest number and also find a dark room. This is because in order to get past the exposed frames you have to fire the camera the same number times but you do not want to double expose the previously shot frames. Fire the camera and advance the film the number of exposures you have shot plus two more. Now remove the lens cap, set the exposure and shoot the rest of the roll. This sounds more complicated then it is. Rest assured, this is a legitimate procedure. Just be careful otherwise you risk double exposing your film. If you have just two or three exposures left, this procedure is not worth it. Use them up on your family pet. They will thank you.
