Graded papers and the Multigrade 500 head
Having just taken into custody a De Vere 504 with Multigrade 500 head; any advice for printing on Ilfobrom Galerie with the unit?

When I am using mine for graded papers I always set grade 2.5. Not that I have read that anywhere it is just what I have always done. I am sure other 500 H users here will have a definitive answer.

I would use it's white light setting, as Neil says this will be around the grade 2.5 setting.

When I got my Multigrade head earlier this year it said set grade 4 for graded paper (put on there by the previous owner who is a very experienced printer/photographer)
Just to be sure I have just checked my manual, and it says "Prints from graded paper.... paper is only sensitive to blue light, therefore select contrast grade 4 or 4.5 (suggested) on the control unit as a compromise between exposure time and image visibility." Hope that is of help Neil |

Neil,
I went looking for a PDF manual for the Multigrade 500. However the one available at www.ilfordphoto.com is for a 300W version not my 600W version. - realised after confusion at getting it to print double sided due to numbering differences between scanned page numbers and the PDF page numbers.

I could scan the manual I have and send you a copy if you would like, I can't see why there would be a copyright problem as they no longer produce the system or sell the manual. If I am not charging I think it will be ok.

Even if you aree not charging, copyright can still be breached..........
