Ilford Multigrade FB Classic 8x10 25 Sheets
This variable-contrast black-and-white photographic paper is coated onto a 255g/m2 fibre base for the creative printer seeking neutral image colour and strong tonal rendition. It replaces the previous Multigrade IV FB Fiber line and is offered in a matte surface pack of 25 sheets.
Variable contrast fibre-based paper
The single specification that decides suitability is the variable-contrast fibre base, which allows grade control during enlargement without swapping paper stocks. A fixed-grade or resin-coated alternative would not provide the same tonal flexibility or the rich blacks this base delivers.
Darkroom printers who tone prints
Suited to analogue darkroom users who want a fast-exposure paper with short induction time, uniform grade separation and reduced wash duration, especially when toning on glossy surfaces. Buyers who need a colour emulsion, an inkjet media or a roll format larger than the supplied sheets should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What does the 255 g/m² fibre base mean for a finished 8x10 print?
The 255 g/m² fibre base gives each 8x10 sheet a substantial, rigid feel that resists curling and handles repeated wet processing without tearing.
How does the variable-contrast emulsion work with standard multigrade filters?
The emulsion responds to standard multigrade filters from grade 00 to 5, delivering uniform grade separation and a short 20-second induction time in the developer.
Will these 8x10 sheets fit a standard 8x10 easel and drying rack?
Yes, the sheets are cut to 8x10 inches, matching standard easel blades and drying screens for that format.
