This high-quality, variable contrast, black and white photographic paper is coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base, ensuring durability and longevity of your prints.

Designed for neutral image color, the Multigrade FB Classic boasts a white base tint, delivering prints with rich blacks and excellent tonal rendition. This enhances the overall print appearance, making it a reliable choice for photographers aiming for top-notch results.

The Multigrade FB Classic is a fast exposure darkroom paper, with 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. It also features an extended low contrast at soft filtrations (00 end) and a 50% reduction in wash times, making it an eco-friendly choice.

Compatible with all types of darkroom enlargers, this paper works seamlessly with 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 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, making it a versatile addition to any professional photography setup.
