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.

Let the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE Variable Contrast Paper transform your photographic creations with its cool image tones and pristine whites. This high-quality, variable contrast, black and white photographic paper is designed for the discerning photographer seeking a unique aesthetic in their prints. Coated onto a robust 255gsm fiber base, this paper boasts a cool white base tint that produces rich, cool blacks and well-separated mid-tones, giving your final print a distinctive look.

As a product from the trusted ILFORD brand, this photographic paper guarantees the superior quality you've come to expect. It's not just about the quality of the print, but also the ease of use. This versatile paper is user-friendly in the darkroom, responding effectively to standard techniques such as toning, chemical reduction, and retouching.

The ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE is a fast exposure darkroom paper, with a short induction time of approximately 25 seconds for image appearance during processing. Despite its speed, it retains all the handling and filtration characteristics you'd expect from traditional MULTIGRADE FB papers.

Designed for compatibility, this paper works seamlessly with all types of darkroom enlargers and 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 ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE delivers a wide range of contrast, offering seven full grades 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 fiber-based papers.

In summary, the 20x24", 50-sheet ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB COOLTONE Variable Contrast Paper is a premium choice for photographers seeking to add a cool, distinctive touch to their black and white prints.
