How to know the paper is fixed grade or multi-grade?

[ericzhu]

I got some kodak black & white papers. But it has no lables to show whether it is fixed grade or mulit-grade paper. Any suggestions to know it? Thanks.

Hi

I think your best bet is to expose a few test-strips of the paper in question, while using different filtration, and determine if the contrast changes.

You mean that I shall make a test-strip with filter 00, then other strips with filter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 seperately to see whether the contrast changes?

I believe that two filter settings will suffice in order to determine if the paper is graded or not. I would use grade one and four.

Thanks for your answer. I would try it.

If you know the name of the paper, I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you - no matter how old it is()...

Kodak paper

It is Kodak paper. Because the back of paper is printed/labelled lots of same words of "kodak ...". I forget the precise words, I would look at the paper tonight and let you know.
