Default Paper recommendations/LPL6600

Ilford also make a convenient A4 size RC paper which allows you to print almost all of the neg off a 35mm film without loosing too much image area. With 10x8 you will loose approx 1/3rd of the neg area unless you print to fit the paper which means you then waste paper area,

The LPL6600 is a damn good enlarger. I much prefer to use the colour filters rather than individual multigrade contrast filters. The individual filters are known to fade over time and may not give the correct grade, but the dichroic ones in the enlarger head don't fade at all.

Additionally you will have to mount the individual filters below the lens which introduces another surface that can under some circumstances degrade the image.

Using the infinitely variable filtration can help you to tweek the contrast. Also with each pack of Ilford paper they give lists for the filtration for enlargers with Kodak and Durst filtration. The LPL uses the Kodak settings.

They also give another list where you use two filters together (yellow and magenta) These are used to give equal exposure times for all grades between 1 and 4. The exposure times for grades below or above those need to be re-assessed.
