Ilford Multigrade Art 300 paper

This professional-grade, variable contrast paper is a 100% cotton rag based darkroom paper with a silver gelatin coating. It delivers a slightly warm image tone on a neutral to cool white acid-free base. Photographers use it to control contrast for optimal black and white fine art prints. The heavy weight makes handling easy even in large sheet sizes.

Handling in the darkroom

The paper is fully compatible with all existing Multigrade filters and equipment for contrast control. It can be used with most common safelights for black and white darkroom paper. The textured matte surface with an eggshell sheen finish is durable for toning, hand coloring, and retouching. Standard darkroom processing chemistry and workflows apply.

Practical limits of silver gelatin

As a traditional darkroom paper, it requires a wet chemical process and a darkroom environment with appropriate safelights. The variable contrast range depends on the Multigrade filters used during exposure. The 8x10 inch sheets are supplied in packs of 50. It is not suited for inkjet or digital printing workflows.
