Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone Black & White Enlarging Paper 5x7", 100 Sheets, Glossy

Over the years, Ilford has been a trusted name in the world of photography, and the Multigrade FB Cooltone Black & White Enlarging Paper is no exception. This high-quality, variable contrast, black and white photographic paper is designed for creative printers seeking cool image tones and clean whites. Coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base, this durable paper ensures longevity and reliability.

The Multigrade FB Cooltone features a cool white base tint, producing prints with cool, rich blacks and well-separated mid-tones. This unique characteristic imparts a distinctive look to the final print, enhancing its professional appeal. This paper is not only versatile but also user-friendly, making it a preferred choice for photographers working in darkrooms.

This professional-grade paper responds effectively to standard darkroom techniques such as toning, chemical reduction, and retouching. It's a fast exposure darkroom paper with a short induction time of around 25 seconds for image appearance during processing, yet it retains all the handling and filtration attributes you'd expect from traditional Multigrade FB papers.

Suitable for use in all types of darkroom enlargers, the Multigrade FB Cooltone is compatible with most safelights designed for black and white papers with a cut-off no lower than 580nm. It's also fully compatible with the Ilford chemistry range and the Ilford optimum permanence wash sequence.

The Multigrade FB Cooltone 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 standard methods for fibre-based papers. With 100 sheets of 5x7" glossy paper in each pack, you'll have plenty of material for your black and white photographic printing needs.
