Ilford Multigrade FB Warmtone Semi-Matt Paper

Ilford Multigrade FB Warmtone Semi-Matt is a high-quality fibre based darkroom paper. This is a paper designed for printing in a traditional black and white darkroom. It has a warm white base colour and will give a noticeably warm image tone to your image.

Using warmtone paper will give your images a brown/orange tone compared to a neutral-tone paper.

This particular paper comes in a glossy finish. Giving it a smooth and natural looking finish that will help to reveal the subtlest highlight details in creamy whites whilst recording shadows in deep blacks. You should expect it to give you similar qualities to most matt surface papers.

In addition to producing the superb quality you expect from Ilford photographic papers, it is very versatile and incredibly easy to work with. It is also well suited to toning, chemical reduction and retouching techniques.

Ilford Multigrade is a variable contrast paper, which means that it is possible to get the full range of contrast from your negatives. Simply use in conjunction with a multigrade enlarger and you can print from grade 00 through to 5. If used without any filters on your enlarger, it equates to approximately grade 2 or 3.

Ilford Multigrade FB Warmtone Semi-Matt is available in a range of sizes from 5×7, to 8×10 and up to 20×24.
