If you develop with grippy gloves, like nitrile gloves, the side of the paper that catches more when you slide your finger across is the coated side. If you use a safelight, the coated side has a bit more shine to it.

question

The description says it compatible with magenta and yellow filters, 0-5...so does that mean its not compatible with 00?
Asked by: Thomas W.
In my experience, using the Ilford Multigrade 00 filter is fine with this paper.
