Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Enlarging Paper
This variable-contrast black-and-white photographic paper is coated onto a robust 255g/m2 fibre base for durability and print longevity. It suits professional photographers and creative printers who demand superior quality and neutral image colour in the darkroom.
Capacity and headroom
The pack contains 10 sheets sized 11x14 inches, providing ample material for a series of exhibition-grade prints. Fibre-based stock absorbs more chemistry and requires longer wash and dry times than resin-coated alternatives, so plan darkroom sessions accordingly.
Matte surface and fast exposure
The matte finish reduces glare and supports subtle tonal rendition while a short induction time of around 20 seconds speeds up processing workflow. Buyers who need glossy surfaces for specific toning effects or roll formats for continuous printing should select a different variant.

Questions about this item
Will the 255g/m² fibre base of this 11x14" paper curl differently than lighter resin-coated sheets I have used?
The 255g/m² fibre base is heavier than typical resin-coated papers, so it lies flatter during processing and dries with less curl, though it requires longer wash and dry times.
How can I confirm the variable contrast grades are separating uniformly on the matte surface?
Print a stepped test strip across grades 00 to 5; uniform grade separation shows even tonal steps with no abrupt jumps between adjacent grades.
Does the 10-sheet box include a safelight filter or developer, or must I buy them separately?
The box contains only the 10 sheets of matte enlarging paper; safelight filters, developer, stop bath, fixer and tongs are all purchased separately.
