Ilford MG ART 300 12 x 16in 30 Sheets

Multigrade Art 300 is a brand-new fibre-based darkroom paper aimed at photographic students and fine art photographers who want the ultimate in a high-quality printing media.
It is Ilford's first new photographic paper in 13 years and been developed in co-operation with Hahnem?hle (renowned for their superior fine-art ink jet papers). They developed its 100% cotton rag paper base and the acid free nature of the art paper.

With its 300gsm weight and textured feel you will get neutral to warmish tones on a cool base. It also has an attractive eggshell sheen. One of its attributes is the reduced wash times when compared to normal fibre-based Multigrade paper. This will make it more user-friendly to those printers who might normally consider only RC papers.


Review by Rodney Bates:

Although Multigrade Art 300 is the most expensive silver-gelatine paper we sell, used on the right occasions, for that very special print it is worth every penny. It processes well in all the usual Multigrade developers - we prefer Champion because it is the cheapest but responds to lith developing too - choose Rollei Vintage Creative Superlith.

It works just like Ilford Warmtone with a fabulous textured finish and being thick it flattens really well. We used to sell lots of Kentmere Art Classic which after discontinuation was sadly missed. Art 300 is more than a suitable replacement especially as it has the added benefit of being a variable contrast paper.
