Don- I recently purchased a graflarger. Haven't had a chance to use
it yet. I have done a lot of research though, and from what little
I've been able to find out, multigrade paper and filters are not
reccomended for use with the Graflarger's Aristo cold light. The
info stated that very little if any contrast variation was achieved
with either. The suggestion was to use graded paper instead.
