Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV Fiber Based, Variable Contrast Black and White Paper (11 x 14", Matte, 10 Sheets):
I really love this paper. I love printing in a larger format. The only problem I have since I am a student at the Art Academy of Cincinnati it is expensive. I wish more sheets came in a pack as well. Other than that I love this paper and I could print on it all the time if I could.

Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV Fiber Based, Variable Contrast Black and White Paper (11 x 14", Matte, 10 Sheets):
I originally bought this paper to experiment on a larger scale than 8x10. After I ran a few sheets through the developer I got back on B&H and ordered more. 11x14 is always kind of an awkward size, however I plan on always having some of this paper lying around. Tones are great. Blacks could be a little richer, but its hard to complain since its matte paper.

Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV Fiber Based, Variable Contrast Black and White Paper (11 x 14", Matte, 10 Sheets):
Now that Kodak has stopped making Black & White paper (specifically N surface), This is the best paper available for hand-coloring of Black & White prints. It takes the Marshall oils and pencils very well. I've tried a few of the Czech & Russian brands and they can't compare.
Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV Fiber Based, Variable Contrast Black and White Paper (11 x 14", Matte, 10 Sheets):

This silver gelatin paper is great for printing in the darkroom. With the matte paper, you can easily apply oil paint to give your black and white prints amazing color.
