Ilford Multigrade FB Classic 11x14" Glossy

This variable-contrast black-and-white photographic paper is coated on a 255g/m2 fibre base for neutral image tone and rich blacks. The glossy surface responds well to toning and suits creative printers who want excellent tonal rendition in the darkroom. It replaces the previous Multigrade IV FB Fiber line with faster exposure speed and improved maximum density. Each pack contains ten sheets sized 11x14 inches for traditional enlarging workflows.

Darkroom printers who need fibre-based quality

Photographers seeking a premium glossy paper with short induction time around 20 seconds and uniform grade separation will benefit from the faster processing and 50% reduction in wash times. The paper handles like traditional Multigrade FB while delivering sharp images and extended low contrast at soft filtrations. Users who require roll format or a matt surface should select a different variant, and those working exclusively with resin-coated papers will not gain the fibre-base archival qualities this product provides.

Ten sheets of 11x14 inch fibre paper

The pack supplies ten exposures at 11x14 inch dimensions, giving enough material for a focused printing session or proofing a small series. Faster speed shortens exposure time under the enlarger, while the 255g/m2 base provides substantial feel and durability during wet processing. Wash time is halved compared with older versions, saving water without sacrificing handling. Printers producing larger editions or needing continuous lengths will find the sheet count limiting and should consider roll options instead.

Questions about this item

What darkroom equipment is needed to expose and process this 11x14 inch fibre-based paper?

You need a black-and-white enlarger with variable-contrast filters or a colour head, safelight illumination, trays for developer, stop bath and fixer, plus a water supply for the reduced wash step.

Can I use this glossy paper with an older enlarger that only offers fixed-grade filtration?

Yes, the paper’s uniform grade separation works with fixed-grade filters, though you lose the continuous contrast control that variable-contrast filtration provides.

How quickly should an image appear in the developer to confirm the paper is behaving correctly?

Expect a short induction time of around 20 seconds before the image becomes visible during normal development.
