Ilford MG ART 300 12″x16″ (30 sheet) Black and White Fine Art Photographic Paper

Description

ILFORD MULTIGRADE ART 300 is a Cotton Rag paper with a textured matt surface with an eggshell sheen. The new base has been specially produced for HARMAN technology by Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH. The fine art base with a multigrade silver gelatine coating has a cool base colour and slightly warm image tone. Compared to ILFORD FB (baryta) papers, slightly shorter wash times are achieved, and the paper can easily be handled in large sheets thanks to its 300 GSM weight. We are very excited about this new paper.

Unique, variable contrast, black & white darkroom paper on a textured matt cotton rag base. Especially suited to toning and hand-colouring.
