Alternatively, treat them with Agfa > Sistan. I've printed a lot on ILFORD RC MultigradeIV and only recently I've discovered some problems. Some prints made with the Pearl version, which have been exposed to light without any protection (glass), for one year only, appear as they were toned (brown). The same effect is not present on print with glossly surface. I do not think it is due to an improper washing, I guess that in that case the white parts would become yellow. In my case the white is still white but the grey has become brown. Any other experienced that? Selenium toning could avoid that effect? thanks francesco - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Francesco Ricci, IRST, Loc.
