Great for a high school photo lab

As a Highschool photography teacher, I love the Ilford RC papers. Easy to use and dry. While I love the pearl finish for its look, we chose to go with the glossy because it scans so well.

Excellent results w/this B&W paper.

Can't go wrong with Ilford's MB RCIV paper. The pearl surface has just the right texture for my purposes.

Ilford MGIV

I've used Ilford MGIV RC for a long time and never had any problems. It's easy to use and produces great prints. The pearl surface is my favorite B&W paper. I highly recommend it.

Perfect caffenol printing paper

This paper has a warm tone, and has a rich gradation. At first I was surprised by its lack of shine (I usually print on glossy) but after a few prints I started to love it! It's easy on the eyes. I print using a caffenol developer and so far it's been looking great!
