MultiTone MultiTone B & W RC Pearl Reviews

Only paper I buy now

By Adam
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-01

The prices keep going up, but that is understandable given the high precious metal prices in 2025-2026. 25 sheets of multi tone 5x7 has gone from $7.19 to $9.37 in the past months. Still, this paper proves to be a great value. Blacks are black, whites are white, and the ilford contrast filters 1-4 do the job for almost all negatives, including night time long exposure photos with high contrast. I like to print a lot of 5x7 photos for casual sharing with family/friends. If you are a serious artist and need the best paper with 00-5 contrast control, this may not meet your needs.

Great paper

Difficult to find a difference between one print from this paper and one identical from Ilford. It saves a lot.
