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.

I have used Ilford fiber base paper for over 25 years and it never disappoint!

Over the years, Ilford has been a trusted name in the photography industry, and their Multigrade FB Cooltone Black & White Enlarging Paper is no exception. This high-quality, variable contrast, black and white photographic paper is designed for the creative printer who desires cool image tones and clean whites in their prints.

Coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base, this professional-grade enlarging paper boasts a cool white base tint. Prints made on this paper exhibit cool rich blacks and well-separated mid-tones, delivering a unique aesthetic to the final print. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers looking to add a touch of sophistication and depth to their black and white photography.

The Multigrade FB Cooltone is not only reliable but also versatile and user-friendly, even in a darkroom setting. It responds effectively to the usual techniques of toning, chemical reduction, and retouching, making it a versatile tool for photographers.

This fast exposure darkroom paper has a short induction time of around 25 seconds for image appearance during processing, yet it retains all the handling and filtration characteristics you would expect from traditional Multigrade FB papers. It is suitable for use in 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.

Furthermore, this durable enlarging paper is fully compatible with the Ilford chemistry range as well as 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. After washing and drying, it can be mounted using the standard methods for fibre-based papers.

In conclusion, the Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone Black & White Enlarging Paper is a reliable, versatile, and high-quality choice for photographers seeking to produce professional-grade black and white prints.
