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.

Ilford is committed to keeping film alive

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.
