It's beautiful, responsive paper. The semi-matte is just right, not glossy but picks up more detail than the matte. It's expensive, so if I were more organized, I might use it only for final prints; but, I'm not and I don't.

This was recommended to me by my photo teacher at The Museum School here in Boston. I have had some great results, and I love the richness of the blacks it produces. I will be returning to this again and again, I am pretty sure.

Ilford paper is as good as it gets. Very consistent between batches, and if used correctly excellent tonal range

They are my FIRST choice for paper and film. Ilford is the last company who still loves the Analog Community. I will always use their paper and film.

I used this paper to make prints from my B&W negatives for a group show I was in. From what I had read it said it would look great when toned with selenium toner and it did.

My personal views: 1. It is a really good paper with showing more details. 2. It will be better to develop with Ansco 130 developer @ 72F. 3. if you use it a lot and want to get consistent results, you should buy 250 sheet package. It cost a little cheap.

This paper is amazing! I ordered it for our photo toning assignment in my photography class and I was amazed at the results! The warmtone comes out with a slightly toned shade to it after printing and when I added the toning processes to my prints I was so happy with the results. Our assignment was to make 13 consistently toned prints that look identical and then we did a photo exchange. We all got a copy of each others prints!!!

It is my primary paper for my 4x5 and 8x10 enlarging work. It can reflect good tonality and sharpness from the negatives. It costs a little more than other VC papers, but you can get more satisfaction.

In lieu of the demise of Agfa papers and the disappearance of Portriga Rapid, this is one of the best papers available on the market

Ilford paper review
By GEOFF C.
High quality paper; great image clarity and beautiful tones.
With the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB WARMTONE, photographers and printing professionals can achieve gallery-quality black and white prints that exude a sense of depth and emotion. This high-quality, variable contrast enlarging paper is crafted on a robust, heavyweight, baryta-coated, fibre base, ensuring durability and a professional feel to each print.
The paper's warm image tones are not only inviting but also provide a classic look that is reminiscent of traditional photographic aesthetics. The semi-matte surface of this 9.5x12 inch paper offers a subtle sheen that enhances the visual appeal without the glare of gloss, making it a versatile choice for various lighting conditions and display settings.
ILFORD's advanced emulsion technology is the cornerstone of the MULTIGRADE FB WARMTONE's superior performance, delivering prints with deep, luxurious blacks and nuanced, creamy whites. This dynamic range ensures that every detail, from the subtlest highlight to the richest shadow, is rendered with clarity and precision.
For those looking to personalize their work, this paper's high responsiveness to toning, chemical reduction, and retouching techniques opens up a world of creative possibilities. Whether aiming for a subtle sepia hue or a dramatic selenium tone, the MULTIGRADE FB WARMTONE responds beautifully, allowing for artistic expression beyond the initial exposure.
As part of the renowned ILFORD MULTIGRADE system, this paper supports seven full grades of contrast when used in conjunction with ILFORD MULTIGRADE filters. This level of control is invaluable for photographers who demand the ability to fine-tune their prints to match their vision accurately.
The MULTIGRADE FB WARMTONE is compatible with the ILFORD optimum permanence wash sequence, which ensures that your prints will not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. Additionally, it can be used with most common safelights for black & white darkroom paper, providing a reliable and user-friendly printing experience.
In summary, the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB WARMTONE is a professional, reliable, and high-quality choice for those who are serious about black and white photographic printing. Its versatility, coupled with the ability to produce images with rich tonal gradations and a warm finish, makes it a distinguished option for discerning printers and photographers alike.
