Re: Paper Negative Questions

Ilford multigrade is best. If you are going to use paper flat, then the surface doesn't matter. if you are going to curve the paper, as around the inside of a can, use the flattest surface you can get. I think peal is as dull as Iolford gets. The usual rule of thumb for any paper is ISo of 5 or 6. the other thing about paper negatives is that the results tend to be very contrasty. If you don't like that, use a yellow filter and double the exposure time. Is the new e-mail address the ofical one?

  Hi,

  I have a couple of questions concerning paper negatives:

  1. What brand and type of paper makes the best paper negatives? I have heard that the Kodak logo on the back will show up in prints made from paper negatives.

  2. What is the ISO rating of various papers?

  Any other comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks,
  David
