When making prints under an enlarger you might use graded filters to enhance your final picture<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a Meopta 4 with colour head (3) and below is a table of the Ilford Grade numbers and corresponding Meopta Colour head settings to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have made bold<\/strong>, grades 0, 2.5 and 5 as these are the ones used most frequently in grading enlargement’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most start with Ilford’s 2.5 grades in general and work back or forward from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Split grading is normally 0 then 5 to suit but more on this later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I will be making a post and a video about using the Meopta 3 colour head but for now I hope this is of some use to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most things in photo enlargement and film development take all times and suggested setting as a starting point to refine down to setting best suited for you and your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have a Meopta 4 with colour head (3) and below is a table of the Ilford Grade numbers and corresponding Meopta Colour head settings to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":894,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[164],"tags":[159,165,168,167,166,169],"class_list":["post-893","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-darkroom","tag-bw","tag-enlarger","tag-grade","tag-ilford","tag-meopta","tag-print"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/original-scaled.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=893"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":922,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/893\/revisions\/922"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davesphoto.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Ilford Grade<\/td> Meopta<\/td> <\/td><\/tr> <\/td> Y<\/strong><\/td> M<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 0<\/strong><\/td> 75<\/strong><\/td> 12<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 0.5<\/td> 55<\/td> 16<\/td><\/tr> 1<\/td> 42<\/td> 21<\/td><\/tr> 1.5<\/td> 35<\/td> 27<\/td><\/tr> 2<\/td> 27<\/td> 35<\/td><\/tr> 2.5<\/strong><\/td> 21<\/strong><\/td> 40<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> 3<\/td> 15<\/td> 45<\/td><\/tr> 3.5<\/td> 9<\/td> 56<\/td><\/tr> 4<\/td> 3<\/td> 67<\/td><\/tr> 4.5<\/td> 0<\/td> 97<\/td><\/tr> 5<\/strong><\/td> 0<\/strong><\/td> 97+<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n
