Ilford MULTIGRADE RC Deluxe papier (Satijn, 16 x 20 inch, 10 vel)

The satin finish gives my 16x20 prints a really subtle sheen without the glare of glossy paper, perfect for displaying under glass. I’ve been using it for test strips and final prints alike, and the tones come out crisp with no curling during processing.

Even at 16x20, this paper lies perfectly flat during processing—no annoying curling. The variable contrast range is really forgiving for a beginner like me, and the satin surface hides minor dust spots well.

I’ve been printing in my darkroom for years and this satin finish gives my portraits a really subtle texture that’s not too glossy. The 16x20 sheets lay flat in the tray without curling, which makes processing a lot smoother. Definitely my go-to paper for bigger prints now.
