When it comes to achieving superior quality in black and white photography, the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC Enlarging Paper stands out as a top choice. This premium-quality, variable contrast photographic paper is specifically designed for the creative printer who seeks neutral image color, exceptional clarity, and a favorable response to toners.

Coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base, the MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC features a white base tint that ensures prints have rich blacks, excellent tonal rendition, and an overall impressive print appearance. This product is not only synonymous with the superb quality you've come to associate with ILFORD photographic papers, but it also offers versatility and ease of use in the darkroom.

The glossy surface of the MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC is particularly well-suited to toning applications. This fast exposure darkroom paper has a short induction time of around 20 seconds for image appearance during processing. It offers a closer speed relationship between grades, more uniform grade separation, and sharp images.

The MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC also boasts an extended low contrast at soft filtrations (00 end) and a 50% reduction in wash times, making it a water-saving choice. Despite these enhancements, it retains all the handling and filtration during processing that traditional MULTIGRADE FB papers are known for.

This product is suitable for use in 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 is also fully compatible with the ILFORD chemistry range and the ILFORD optimum permanence wash sequence.

The ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC 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.

In summary, the ILFORD MULTIGRADE FB CLASSIC Enlarging Paper 8x10", 25 Sheets, Glossy, is a superior choice for photographers seeking to elevate their black and white prints to the next level of quality and clarity.
