Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Glossy 5x7 100 Sheets

This variable-contrast black-and-white photographic paper is coated on a 255g/m2 fibre base for neutral image tone and rich blacks. It is intended for creative darkroom printers who want glossy surface quality, excellent tonal rendition and good response to toners. The pack contains 100 sheets of 5x7 inch glossy paper.

Check darkroom workflow before ordering

You need a variable-contrast enlarger or filter set to access the full grade range. The paper requires standard black-and-white chemistry and a safelight appropriate for variable-contrast emulsions. Processing uses a short induction time of around 20 seconds for image appearance and benefits from 50% reduced wash times compared with older fibre-based papers.

Replaces Multigrade IV FB Fibre

This product replaces Multigrade IV FB Fibre with faster speed for shorter exposure, improved maximum density and more uniform grade separation. The jump is worthwhile for printers who want extended low contrast at soft filtrations, sharper images and reduced water consumption during washing while retaining familiar handling characteristics.
