Professional Darkroom Paper

Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone is a variable-contrast black-and-white photographic paper designed for photographers who want cool image tones and pristine whites in their enlargements. The 255g/m2 fibre base provides a robust substrate that withstands repeated handling and wet processing. It is sold in boxes of 50 sheets measuring 11x14 inches with a glossy surface.

Processing Speed and Safelight Compatibility

This fast-speed paper reduces exposure time in the darkroom and shows an image induction time of around 25 seconds during development. It works with all types of darkroom enlargers and is compatible with safelights that have a cut-off no lower than 580nm. The cool white base tint delivers rich blacks and well-separated mid-tones under normal printing conditions.

Sustained Darkroom Performance

The paper retains the handling and filtration characteristics of traditional Multigrade FB papers during extended printing sessions. It responds effectively to toning, chemical reduction and retouching techniques without compromising the cool tone rendition. Uniform grade separation is maintained across multiple prints, making it reliable for edition work where consistency matters.

Questions about this item

How do I load the 11x14 inch sheets into the enlarger easel without fogging the paper?

Work under a safelight with a cut-off no lower than 580 nm, open the box only in that light, and place each 255 g/m² sheet emulsion-side up in the easel before making the exposure.

What darkroom chemicals and steps does this fibre-based paper require after exposure?

Develop for about 25 seconds until the image appears, then stop, fix, wash thoroughly, and dry; the paper also accepts standard toning, reduction and retouching techniques.

How long can I keep the unopened box before the emulsion loses its original contrast and speed?

Stored cool and dry in its light-tight packaging, the paper retains its fast speed and variable-contrast response for years; Ilford does not publish a fixed expiry date.
