Professional Darkroom Paper

Ilford Multigrade FB Classic is a variable contrast black and white photographic paper for creative printers who want neutral image tone and strong toner response. The fibre based 255g/m2 sheet provides rich blacks and excellent tonal rendition. Each pack contains 50 sheets measuring 11x14 inches. It is designed for darkroom enlarging work where archival quality matters.

Fits Standard Enlarging Workflow

The paper suits existing darkroom setups using variable contrast filters or colour head filtration. Its faster speed shortens exposure time under the enlarger. A short induction time of around 20 seconds for image appearance during processing speeds up print evaluation. The white base tint ensures consistent results across grading. Sheets lay flat in standard easels and processing trays.

Replaces Multigrade IV FB Fiber

This product replaces the previous Multigrade IV FB Fiber line. The jump is worth it for printers who need closer speed relationship between grades and more uniform grade separation. Improved maximum density delivers deeper blacks. It is not for photographers who only shoot colour or who require resin coated paper for rapid throughput. Roll format users should note this pack contains cut sheets only.
