Hi

I am going to experiment with ilford Multigrade RC photo paper for thje Carbon process and wonder if I should fix it prior to using or can I use it right from the box?

Fixing it would be the way to go. Unfixed, the emulsion would eventually discolor in the light,

Strange... I answered this ages ago but seems to have vanished. Oh well. Vaughn is correct. It discolours rather rapidly. For tissue support, no need to fix, though.
