[Multigrade] I haven't done B&W printing since 1976, but I recently acquired some 2 1/4 and 4x5 negatives, and I thought it might be fun to try contact-printing in my bathroom. I purchased this paper and the Arista paper developer and odorless fixer from B&H. I used two food dishes for trays (faucet rinse as stop bath), the room light as an exposure source, and the eTone LED safelight as my only 21st Century accommodation.


Everything went really well: the paper has good blacks, good whites, developed easily, washes easily, dried easily without water spots! (Per Ilford's recommendation, I washed for more than a minute under the faucet after the fixer).


The best part was the safelight. I did color (Cibachrome) for another 10 years, but working with a safelight is so much more fun, and the B&W process so much faster! I did a safelight test as my first print, and I can say with confidence the eTone is 100% safe for this paper. It's fully portable (no cord) so I easily moved it from my dry area to my wet area as needed, and more than bright enough!


A few issues with Arista:
1. Not a lot of instructions and the company doesn't seems to have a website.
2. Very difficult to tell the emulsion from the base side of the paper except by looking under the safelight. The emulsion appeared glossy on this paper - but might be harder to discern on other finishes.
3. The paper dries to a moderate gloss - it does NOT have that old ferrotype super-glossy look, at least not with air drying.
4. The paper was too light-sensitive for my original plan to expose it upside-down on a light plate. The briefest exposure I could make this way was still too much light.

Again, very happy I tried Arista's B&W paper and chemicals! I would definitely recommend this!
