A top-tier choice for photographers seeking superior image quality, the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC Enlarging Paper offers a unique blend of neutral image color, remarkable clarity, and a robust response to toners. This premium black and white photographic paper, coated onto a substantial 255g/m2 fibre base, is designed to bring your creative vision to life. The MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC features a crisp white base tint, ensuring your prints exhibit rich blacks and an excellent tonal rendition for an overall impressive print appearance. This product is not only known for its superb quality synonymous with ILFORD photographic papers, but also its versatility and user-friendliness in the darkroom. It's particularly well-suited for toning applications, especially on its glossy surface. This fast exposure darkroom paper boasts a short induction time of approximately 20 seconds for image appearance during processing. It offers a closer speed relationship between grades, more uniform grade separation, and sharp images. It also provides an extended low contrast at soft filtrations (00 end), a 50% reduction in wash times to conserve water, all while maintaining the familiar handling and filtration during processing that users appreciate in traditional MULTIGRADE FB papers.The MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC is suitable for 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. It's fully compatible with the ILFORD chemistry range and the ILFORD optimum permanence wash sequence. When used with ILFORD MULTIGRADE FILTERS, the MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC delivers seven full grades of contrast from grade 00 to grade 5 in half grade steps. After washing and drying, it can be mounted using standard methods for fibre-based papers. This enlarging paper is a testament to ILFORD's commitment to delivering high-quality photographic solutions for professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Arrive on time and was delivered in great condition.

On Time & in Good Condition

Fantastic product. It is always reliable and my photos come out great!

Rinse and Repeat

This is the best price-value paper

I've been working and teaching with Ilford materials for many years. Great company, excellent products. You can get amazing results from Multigrade Classic. Beautiful tonal range, very responsive to exposure/development controls and toning. I use Multigrade Classic RC for contact prints, and the Fiber Base for both work prints and exhibition.

The Fine Print

It looked real and accepted all the photons I gave it

Real

fantastic paper to print photographs. The tonal range is superb, true blacks, whites and all that is in between, with the weight and texture, result of beautiful prints

love it

Consistently good

Classic Black and White Prints, Get This Paper!

I have been using this for years, after Kodak withdrew its Polymax Fine Art. They are similar, cold tone, and the Ilford responds identically to the Kodak graded filters. I only use fiber base and the glossy is just that. It’s an easy paper to love.

An old standby in multigrade FB papers

This is the go-to paper for me, and also for every photographer I know who works with traditional silver prints today.  It's dependable.  (I've worked with cheaper products from Eastern Europe that have had quality control issues.)  It's fast, beautiful, tones well, and doesn't have too much dry-down.  It's really the best paper out there for general darkroom printing on a fine-art level.

Best overall paper available today

I am graduate student, and currently enlarging all my fine art series in Ilford neutral tone!, It is really versatile!  The quality and the conservation of this paper is Fabulous!

Im sticking to Ilford Neutral tone for my Fine Art Series

ilford paper

Good product. Just what I expected and got it on time.

Fast delivery and what I expected.

Love this paper!  It is my go to when working in the darkroom

Fantastic!

Overall this paper is excellent, but some of them had a small mark on them, you don’t notice until you start developing the print. But overall the paper is great!

Paper quality

would recommend, better photos than when using RC paper. Photo Prof recommended this paper to me

10/10 paps

This is possibly the best general purpose multigrade photographic paper ever made and my latest purchase of 250 sheet boxes from Adorama came at a price that other sellers could not match. Thank you Adorama.
 
There is a hard-to-solve problem in shipping damage for this product. A 250 sheet box of photographic paper is heavy and very dense for its volume. This characteristic overwhelms the light weight air-filled packing used and the photographic  paper boxes move about and become split while riding within an intact outer carton. Opening the shipment under photographic safe-light and repackaging the photographic paper into light proof boxes is a sensible precaution if damage is suspected. 

I will keep shopping with Adorama

Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Enlarging Paper from Adorama.

I love this stuff. Whites are bright, blacks are black, the surface looks great, it seems to be truly neutral (not cool or warm tone), and even the dreaded fiber curl behavior doesn't seem as bad as usual with double weight FB paper.

My favorite neutral-tone paper

What more do you want?  Best price.  Quick shipping.  No damage

Best Price / Fast / No Fuss

Ilford Classic FB

Exactly what I wanted. Shipped quickly and well packaged!

My favorite paper

I use the Ilford paper for all my exhibition work, and am completely satisfied with the results.

Ilford multigrade fiber 8x10 paper

I have been using Ilford Multigrade Fiber for many years now.  It has been my only paper since Agfa VC went off the market.  It has the best contrast range of any paper I know, with deep blacks and clean sparkling whites, and is perfect for exhibition prints.  Another plus is that it has short exposure times, and has always been very consistent.  I am grateful to Ilford for continuing to supply such fine films and papers.

My standard paper

This paper is of excellent quality for black and white prints. 

Excellent

The product is fine and service is excellent, but given financial constraints, I do miss Adorama's paper, which was as good as Ilford's


Paper your home with photos.

ilford paper has consistency of quality.  The fiber paper has much better blacks than theRC paper . I like the warm tone paper too and there is not a big difference in color until you tone it

Quality every box

I preford Kodak paper over Ilford but Kodak is no longer making b&w
