When Ilford Multigrade IV first came on the market I switched to it from the earlier MGIII, and I found that I could not print with it as it was flat and muddy. I subsequently had lengthy discussions with Ilford who tried to blame everything but their paper. They finally admitted that it was designed for punchy negatives as produced by the press boys, who accounted for 90% of their sales. Since then I have been using Kodak or Agfa! Now to the point - it would seem that Ilford have produced a developer which, when linked with their Delta range of films (and others) produce the punchier negatives that match their papers. I have tried the combination and still don't like it. I find the dev OK'ish but will return to Aculux when I have finished this bottle I think. Gerry
