Interpreting Ilford Paper Labels

[Pawlowski6132]

Can anyone tell me what the notations on the labels stand for?

For example, I have a pack of Gallerie 2.5k. I assume the 2 stands for Grade 2 but was the .5k stand for?


thanx,

Joe

The surface codes that are applicable for each paper are mentioned in the first section of the data sheet for that paper. Also, the entire list of surface codes is on the cover of the Product Availability List. All of these are available on the website.

EDIT - Here's the link for the PAL:
