N graded paper..

[ibcrewin]

I got a whole box of old paper.. Maybe 10 years old.. Some it looks like it says it's graded N.. Is that about 2-3 grade?

Is this good for contacts?

Thanks,
Ivan

Try to make a contact 😉

... sorry for the cheeky answer, I'm about to make my first contact prints also, just need to find some clean trays... 😀

I realized my question wasn't clear..

I'll put it this way.. What is N grade paper?

C grade is hard grade (4), ISO range 60
N grade is normal grade (3), ISO range 80
Sp grade is special grade (2), ISO range 100
S grade is soft grade (1), ISO range 120

ultra variants of C and S are grade 5 and 0, respectively

Awesome.. Thank ye!

If it's ten years old it's probably too fogged to be good for anything. Still, you won't know until you use a sheet.

I'm going to give it a shot anyway. I've used 10 year old ilford paper with no problems, hopefully i'll be 2 for 2 with this batch.
