Ilford Multigrade FB Cooltone 1K - Variable Contrast Paper 24x30.5 cm (9.45 x 12", 10 sheets)

This 10-sheet pack of 9.458 x 12" Multigrade FB Cooltone Variable Contrast Paper from Ilford is a baryta-coated fiber base paper with a glossy finish designed for traditional black & white photo printing. This paper features a double weight of 255 gsm and a cool white base tint providing a slightly cool image color. Additionally, it is variable contrast paper with seven full grades of contrast available. These grades are accessible with the use of speed-matched filters.

ILFORD Multigrade FB Cooltone is a new black and white gradation converting paper with a baryta-coated board-strength paper base, developed in conjunction with MULTIGRADE FB Classic, which has the same outstanding properties such as visibly higher maximum density and exceptionally clear, sharp image reproduction. In addition, Multigrade FB Cooltone has a cold-white base tone and an emulsion specially adapted to this paper base, which delivers cool grey values and thus offers an overall "technical" image impression.

ILFORD Multigrade FB Cooltone has a strong board backing with a basis weight of 255 g/m². With Multigrade FB Cooltone, all gradations from 00 to 5 are available on each sheet. The different contrast is - as with all ILFORD Multigrade papers - caused by colour filtering of the magnifying light. Magnifications made on ILFORD Multigrade FB Cooltone are characterised by deep, rich blacks, brilliant clear whites, a cool image tone and the finest reproduction of grey values. These good qualities can always be relied upon from image to image and from one production batch to another.

ILFORD Multigrade FB Cooltone is designed for use with all enlargers and is equally suitable for printing conventional negatives and XP2 super negatives. Dark orange, dark brown or red filters and a 15W bulb are recommended as safelights.
