Ilford 12 x12" Multigrade Printing Filters are used for printing the Ilford Multigrade range of papers on black-and-white enlargers.  Ilford produces complete sets of filters for all contrast grades in half grade steps.

The twelve multigrade filters are in sets and are numbered 00-5 in .5 steps. The lowest number corresponds to the softest contrast.

Multigrade filters are supplied in 3, 6 and 12" square sizes to fit most enlarger's filter drawers, or as a set of mounted hard plastic filters for below-lens use in a filter holder.

Multigrade filters do not require any recalculation of exposure times when changing between grades 0 and 3, grades 4 to 5 simply requiring twice the exposure.

Easy to Use    No Complicated Calculations Required    Compatible with All Multigrade Papers

Easy way to control print contrast using variable contrast paper

Exposure time for filters 00-3.5 is the same; that for filters 4-5 is double

Q: 1. A consistent failing of similar designs (re-branded under countless names) is that 3-4cm of the outer edge is unable to be lit because the inward taper at the large end of the funnel is too aggressive (basically the inner reflector is nearly touching the diffusor). Is this design appreciably more bowl-shaped such that this would be alleviated?

A: I inserted wire into the seams to stiffen the 'funnel', but there remains some tapering light fall-off toward the edges, but I can't quantify in cm or f-stop.
