Good Prints - Not Great with Toning

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

cool paper

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.

When seeking to create striking black and white photographic prints with a distinctive cool tone, the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE is the professional's choice. This high-quality, variable contrast enlarging paper is meticulously coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base, ensuring durability and a premium feel. The glossy finish of this 12x16" paper accentuates the cool white base tint, resulting in prints that exhibit deep, rich blacks and well-separated mid-tones, crafting a signature aesthetic for your photographic work.

The ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE paper is renowned for its versatility in the darkroom. It seamlessly accommodates a variety of creative techniques, including toning, chemical reduction, and retouching, without compromising the integrity of the print. This reliable paper responds predictably to ILFORD MULTIGRADE FILTERS, delivering seven full grades of contrast from grade 00 to grade 5 in precise half-grade increments, allowing for fine-tuning and personal expression in your prints.

Designed for convenience and ease of use, this paper features a fast exposure response, with an induction time of approximately 25 seconds for image appearance during processing. Despite its quick response time, it maintains the exceptional handling and filtration characteristics expected from the MULTIGRADE FB product line. Suitable for all types of darkroom enlargers, this paper is also compatible with most safelights used for black and white papers with a cut-off no lower than 580nm.

Furthermore, the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE paper is fully compatible with the ILFORD chemistry range and follows the ILFORD optimum permanence wash sequence, ensuring that your prints will not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. After processing, washing, and drying, prints can be mounted using standard methods for fibre-based papers, making this product a reliable and professional choice for photographers who demand the highest quality in their black and white prints.

Choose ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE Black & White Enlarging Paper for its superior quality, professional results, and the convenience of purchasing from Adorama, your trusted source for photography equipment and supplies.
