Paper printed beautifully just peeled a bit on edges. Does not take well to color toning.

I have taken on a project with a fairly steep learning curve and chose this paper specifically for images that needed "cool" bright results. I got it thanks to this paper.

Ilford is committed to keeping film alive, unlike the big yellow K. This FB paper and all of their products are top notch for everyone from the hobbyist to the seasoned pro.

It's the Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone Black & White Enlarging Paper, a high-quality, professional-grade photographic paper that's been specifically developed for photographers seeking cool image tones and pristine whites in their prints. This durable and versatile paper, coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base, offers a cool white base tint, allowing prints to exhibit cool, rich blacks and well-separated mid-tones, adding a unique aesthetic to the final print.
As a product from the reputable Ilford brand, this Multigrade FB Cooltone paper maintains the superior quality synonymous with Ilford photographic papers. It's not only reliable but also user-friendly in the darkroom, responding effectively to common techniques such as toning, chemical reduction, and retouching.
This fast exposure darkroom paper features a short induction time of around 25 seconds for image appearance during processing, yet it retains all the handling and filtration characteristics you'd expect from traditional Multigrade FB papers. It's suitable for use with all types of darkroom enlargers and is compatible with most safelights designed for black and white papers with a cut-off no lower than 580nm.
The Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone is fully compatible with the Ilford chemistry range and the Ilford optimum permanence wash sequence. It delivers seven full grades of contrast, from grade 00 to grade 5 in half-grade steps, when used with Ilford Multigrade Filters. Once washed and dried, it can be mounted using standard methods for fibre-based papers, making it a convenient and reliable choice for professional photographers.
