Premium fibre-base darkroom paper

Ilford Multigrade Fiber Base Classic Matte is a variable-contrast black-and-white photographic paper coated onto a 255g/m2 fibre base. The pack contains 10 sheets sized 16x20 for contact printing or enlargements. It is made for creative printers who want neutral image colour, rich blacks and strong tonal rendition. The white base tint supports toning work and delivers consistent results across grades.

Check darkroom workflow compatibility

You need a darkroom equipped for fibre-base processing and variable-contrast filtration. The paper requires standard black-and-white chemistry and a safelight appropriate for multigrade materials. Ensure your enlarger or contact frame can accommodate the 16x20 sheet format. No digital printer or inkjet workflow is supported by this product.

Processing speed and wash economy

Image appearance begins after roughly 20 seconds in the developer, giving a short induction time. Grade separation is uniform and the soft filtration end extends low contrast without losing sharpness. Wash times are reduced by about 50% compared with traditional Multigrade FB papers, saving water while retaining familiar handling. The paper dries flat and accepts toners readily on its matte surface.

Questions about this item

Does the pack contain only the 10 sheets of 16x20 paper or are chemicals included?

The pack contains 10 sheets of Ilford Multigrade Fiber Base Classic Matte 16x20 paper; developer, stop bath and fixer must be purchased separately.

Should I choose this 10-sheet pack or a larger box for regular darkroom work?

The 10-sheet pack suits occasional printing or testing; frequent printers usually prefer the 25-sheet or 50-sheet boxes for lower cost per sheet.
