ILFORD Multigrade FB Classic Matte Variable Contrast Paper – 8″ × 10″ (25 Sheets)

Bring your silver-gelatin darkroom work to life with ILFORD Multigrade FB Classic Matte. This 8×10 pack of 25 sheets is engineered for serious printers who want tonal precision, archival stability, and the classic feel only true fiber-based paper delivers.

This paper features a baryta-coated fiber base with a double-weight 255 gsm construction, giving each sheet a traditional heft and rich printing response. The matte surface eliminates reflections, making it ideal for portraiture, fine art work, and exhibition printing where subtle detail and deep blacks matter.

Its variable contrast design offers seven full grades of contrast control using standard Multigrade filters, letting you dial in exactly the look you want from your negatives — whether you’re printing conventionally or working with chromogenic B&W film.

With a bright neutral white base tint, this paper produces clean highlights, smooth midtones, and dense shadow detail. It handles beautifully under the enlarger and in processing trays, and is fully optimized for archival-quality results.

Perfect for darkroom enthusiasts, advanced printers, and anyone committed to the craft of traditional B&W printing.
