Ilford Multigrade Art 300

ymc226 · Oct 31, 2011

I just ordered a box of 8x10 and 11x14 to try from B&H and remembered reading that it is about a stop slower than Ilford FB Warmtone paper.

Can anyone confirm that this is in the right ballpark. I have my RH designs Analyser Pro dialed in with Warmtone and want to start using this paper ASAP.

I have never tried Art 300, but I am using the Zone Master. Don't you need to calibrate with a few test strips for the best result anyway?

Yes, I usually calibrate all of my papers but I feel like I'm a kid in a candy store and just want to start using it when it arrives in 2 days as I have some negatives that I want to print badly.

Here's a link to the datasheet;

So, according to the datasheet it must be the same sensitivity and the same contrast range as the warmtone FB paper. So, your current Analyser setup must be a good starting point.
I would still run a proper calibration procedure if I was you, just to make sure I'm getting the best out of it.
