Thank you very much all, I knew I can get the best answers in here. Now I’ve learned I can get pure white if I want and cyan is neutral. I know I’ve bought an enlarger way above my knowledge but I have time to learn
So I’ll do a test print with max magenta vs Ilford 5 filter with white light to compare.
The reason I was so focused on grade numbers is I usually do a test print at 2 and at 4 and depending then choose appropriate timings, that’s the main reason actually. With color head maybe I’ll do a bit more test strips until I’m comfortable with the numbers and the effect of them.
So if you do split printing and first you start with magenta, once you establish that for the blacks. Would you take it back to 0 and start to soaking up the yellow for highlights or would you keep magenta where it is? The latter one might keep effecting the blacks.
