Printing from Color Negatives Good prints can be made from color negatives, although they are not the equal of good black and white negatives. I print using Ilford Multigrade RC or FB paper. The image from color negatives printed on b&w paper tends to be a bit more grainy, and there are differences in color rendition: red tones and skin tones appear darker, blues will print lighter. A recommended alternative is to have the color negative scanned, then create a digital negative for contact printing. This procedure will prevent unwanted graininess and unbalanced tonality and, thus, will more accurately render the image in black and white.
