Ilford Multigrade IV RC Deluxe MGD.44M Black and White Variable Contrast Paper (8 x 10 Inches, Pearl, 100 Sheets) (1771318)

bought this for my photos class so i won't have to buy the arista b/w glossy photographic paper that my college sells. if you're someone who dislikes fingerprints then go ahead and purchase this paper. but beware about scanning this type of paper because you will get what looks like noise which i can suspect results from the pearl aspect from this paper; glossy prints scans effortlessly w/ more contrast as well. but don't get discouraged buy this paper! the quality is above par. 100 sheets lasted my 2 semesters btw!! so this is a great deal! ilford is always a dependable brand their b/w film is great too

Incredibly expensive! Does what it should.

Better than buy it from the craft store, can be a nightmare to get hold of but very very good paper, always makes my images come to life

Though it isn't cheap, it isn't a bad deal for Ilford, which is a standard in the industry. This is paper for developing prints in a darkroom, it isn't digital laser printer paper. Your prints will come out as expected, and the pearl finish is nice. It isn't a high gloss, but gives you enough of a shine to add depth and quality to your photographic print.

I’ve bought this B&W Multigrade pearl paper from Ilford twice. The grain is nice and it is forgiving. For what you’re paying for it, the results are as I expected. The contrast in grays is nice and there is a large variety. I have noticed if you hang it to dry with clothes clips on a line, it will leave indents in the paper which isn’t particularly an issue but they are there and mess w the piece as a whole, so don’t hang dry. Holds and cuts well. The corners are notorious for folding a little after you squeegee. Worth it for the price and I’d recommend to all beginners.
