Great photo paper.. cheapest you'll find it. Buy it in the 100 pack even though it's a little cumbersome - it'll save you money in the long run if you plan on enlarging a lot of photographs.

It's photo paper. It works just like photo paper. I've had no problems with it and I've used it to print quite a few photos. It also came in a really large box with lots of cool packing materials, which was awesome.

Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV RC Deluxe MGD.1M Black & White Variable Contrast Paper (8 x 10", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
I've been using this brand of paper in my classes at college for about 4 years now. Great variable contrast. Also In my opinion it holds sepia, halo chrome, and other washes very well. Quality Great. Yeah the price is pricey but as long as your not a newbie and do not go through a whole box before you get a good print it will be worth the price. Which brings me to this : if you are new to black and white go for the cheapest paper you can find like arista or some other brand thats not so expensive until you know what your doing, otherwise in a sense you'll waste money because lets face it when your new to darkroom photography you go through tons of paper before you get a good print. Anyways thats my advice. Great product. Ive always been happy with the results!

Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV RC Deluxe MGD.1M Black & White Variable Contrast Paper (8 x 10", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
This seems to be a very nice size for a beginning photographer and the photos that I've prepared for class seem to have come out well so far using it. Of course, like all photo paper, it is highly sensitive to light so one must be sure to protect in in the box at all times. I like how the paper is kept in a internally black box as well as being held in a black plastic bag to keep everything safe form light. The paper keeps it's glossy look and seems like it will last if treated properly.
I just wish photo paper wasn't soo expensive, but this is probably going to be the best for your dollar in the long run.

Comments about Ilford Multigrade IV RC Deluxe MGD.1M Black & White Variable Contrast Paper (8 x 10", Glossy, 100 Sheets):
I had to buy this paper for a photo class. I had no previous darkroom knowledge and it didn't say anywhere on the box that the paper was light-sensitive. I opened the box in the light to take out half so I wouldn't have to bring the entire box to class every day, exposing it all and basically dumping [$] down the drain. The box should be better labeled, because not everyone using that paper is knowledgeable when it comes to film photography!Once I got my second box and didn't expose it to light, the paper was great. It's easy to work with and did everything I needed it to.
