MACO MULTBROM 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 use the 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.
The glossy surface achieves the highest values (MULTIBROM F + N). Matte Surfaces achieve in comparison lower values.
Following (approx.-) values have been achieved with a negative (Gamma 0,60) in combination with the paper developer LP-BROM1.

MACO MULTIBROM photographic papers can be toned in almost all available toners. Following some application examples:
| Deep, brown blacks: | A: Treatment in PEERLESS watercolors. |

| Light brown/ yellowish : | Toning in LABOR PARTNER LP-SEPIA with adding vinegar. |
| Bluetoning: | 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.
For MACO MULTIBROM 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.
Protective filter red or amber. Max. 15 Watts, minimum distance Lamp - tray 120 cm (a fogging test may be recommendable).
Tray processing:
All MULTIBROM papers are suited for tray processing with all available quality photochemistry.
To get prints with a flawless surface please take special care. Prints to be processed should be handled on the very edges only - place prints into solutions emulsion side up in order to avoid scratches.
