Premium Variable Contrast B&W Paper

Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone is a fibre based black and white photographic paper designed for creative darkroom printers who want cool image tones and clean whites. The 255g/m2 base provides a substantial feel and premium quality expected from traditional darkroom materials. It suits enthusiasts and professionals producing exhibition grade prints.

Darkroom Workflow Compatibility

The paper works with all types of darkroom enlargers and responds to standard variable contrast filtration techniques. It is compatible with most safelights designed for black and white papers with a cut off no lower than 580nm. The fast exposure speed with a short induction time of around 25 seconds for image appearance streamlines printing sessions.

Sustained Processing Behaviour

The paper retains all the handling and filtration characteristics expected from traditional fibre based papers during extended processing runs. It responds in the same way as other fibre based papers to toning, chemical reduction and retouching techniques. Uniform grade separation ensures consistent results across multiple prints in a single session.
