Q. I have some Ilford Multigrade Pearl enlarging paper that I had used when making b/w prints in a darkroom. In theory, could this paper be used to make prints in an inkjet printer? (The paper has been stored light-tight but is over 10 years old.)
A. There are numerous reasons why this would be unworkable, but let’s give the biggest one: Darkroom paper is not designed to absorb inkjet ink, so you would be lucky to get an image at all. Undeveloped photo paper stock is also unstable—you’d need to fix it, and wash it, and dry it, or it would darken over time once exposed to light.
