Premium Variable Contrast B&W Paper

Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone is a fibre based black and white photographic paper designed for creative darkroom printers who want cool image tones and clean whites. The 255g/m2 base provides a substantial feel and premium quality expected from traditional darkroom materials. It suits enthusiasts and professionals producing exhibition grade prints.

It is compatible with most safelights designed for black and white papers with a cut off no lower than 580nm. The fast exposure speed with a short induction time of around 25 seconds for image appearance streamlines printing sessions.
