MACO MULTISPEED N (314)
MACO MULTISPEED WA
A short summary of attributes of these black B white photoaraphic
papers:
MULTISPEED F, N + WA are modern and high class BBW RC-based papers with
variable contrast and have been designed for demanding users.
* Contrast range from soft to extra hard
* Exposure with VC-Filtersets, VC-heads and Colourheads
* Neutral image tone, high max. density
* Extra white RC-base at MULTISPEED F + N,
* Cream (chamois) tinted RC-base at MULTISPEED WA
* Suitable for tray-and und machine processing
* No developer additives incorporated
1. General data in regard of the silverhalogenide photographic
emulsion:
Type:
|
-Chlorobromide-emulsion, variable contrast
- high silver content
- high speed |
2. Description of surfaces:

MULTISPEED WA |
3. Image tone of the photographic emulsion:
All MACO MULTISPEED papers have an emulsion with neutral black image
tone. The image tone can be manipulated by choice of developer.
For example:
|
LP-BROM 1
Calbe MH 28
LP-BROM 3
LP-BROM 4
MACO ecoprint |
- warm image tone
- very warm image tone
- cold image tone
- neutral image tone
- cold image tone |
4. Tone of the basematerial:
MULTISPEED F
MULTISPEED N
MULTISPEED WA |
- white RC-base
- white RC-base
- cream tinted-base (chamois) |

Note:
A.m. speed values are valid for white base papers, due to a lower
reflective power of cream tinted base, paper speed will be approx.
one f-stop lower .
6. Filtervalueslenlargers with colorheads:
MACO MULTISPEED papers can either be exposed by using filtersets (E.g.
LABOR PARTNER VC-Filter, ORIENTAL Acrylic VC-Filter or ILFORD Multigrade
Filter, table above) or with enlargers with VC-head. With colorenlargers
take following values as a starting point: (check whether your enlarger
has DD - or CC-filtervalues)

Depending on age of lamp, type of filter and enlarger deviations to a.m.
values is possible.
7. Maximum density:
The glossy surface achieves the highest values (MULTISPEED F). Matte
Surfaces achieve lower values in comparison.
Following (approx.-) values have been achieved with a negative (Gamma
0,60) in combination with the paper developer LP-BROM 1:
MACO MULTISPEED F
MACO MULTISPEED N
MACO MULTISPEED WA |
- max. Dens. 2,25
- max. Dens. 1,75
- max. Dens. 1,75 |
8. Coating structure (top to bottom):
1. A-protective coating
2. B- protective coating
3. A-emulsion coating
4. B-emulsion coating
5. RC-base
6. Antistatic coating, specially treated for writing, stamping; mounting
and laminating possible with all RC- suited hot and cold procedures
9. Toning:
MACO MULTISPEED photographic papers can be toned in almost all available
toners. Following some application examples:
Deep, brown blacks:
|
A: Treatment in PEERLESS watercolors.
B: Toning in LABOR PARTNER LP-SEPIA.
|
| Light brown/ yellowish |
A: Toning in LABOR PARTNER LP-SEPIA with adding vinegar. |
| Bluetoning: |
A: Toning in LABOR PARTNER LP-AZUR. |
Toning with LP-SELENIA
|
A: Increasement of max. density.
B: Improvement of archival quality (image silver)
C: Change of image tone |
For gelatine toning, whether partially, or full image, using PEERLESS-watercolors(
U.S.A.) has been proven for more than a century.
10. Retouching:
For MACO MULTISPEED papers PEERLESS-watercolors "DRY SPOT SET" have
been proven. The colors may be adjusted to the image tone and leave no
marks on the surface.
11. Darkroom safety light:
Protectice filter red or amber. Max. 15 Watts, minimum distance Lamp
- tray 120 cm (a fogging test may be recommendable). .
12. Informations for wet processing:
MACO MULTISPEED papers can be processed in trays as well as in developing
machines.Suitable are all available quality photographic chemicals.
Best results are possible with MACO or LABOR PARTNER photographic chemistry:
