Didn't that happen quite a while ago when Multigrade IV fibre paper became Multigrade FB classic, or did they change the name only?
definitely worth trying.Review of Ilford MGRC V
MGFB classic is a very different paper to MGFB IV and in my opinion, it is a far superior paper. Before the new classic my main paper was Agfa FB. I really didn't like the old Ilford FB. I certainly hope Ilford do not change the FB classic.Didn't that happen quite a while ago when Multigrade IV fibre paper became Multigrade FB classic, or did they change the name only?

Huh..... i was not aware they sold two different types.MGFB classic is a very different paper to MGFB IV and in my opinion, it is a far superior paper. Before the new classic my main paper was Agfa FB. I really didn't like the old Ilford FB. I certainly hope Ilford do not change the FB classic.
No numbers or lettersYes - but the labels on the current and earlier versions of the paper put all the interesting stuff on the parts of the label that wrap over the end on to the back.
Things like "MG4RC44M"
What was the purpose of (i think) 8 1/2 x 11 inches.?...It works great as a contact sheet, so i have been using it for that...
Easy to make contacts on from 8x10 negatives without requiring care to exactly align the negative and same-size, i.e. 8x10, paper. The latter can be a fiddly procedure, since things tend to shift slightly when closing spring-back printing frames.
8.5" x 11" is great for contact proof sheets that fit perfectly in standard binders.
Right.....This is what I use 8.5x11 RC paper for. If you write on the Printfile sheet in red sharpie then you can print that information right onto the contact sheet along with all the negatives.
Time to get some 8-1/2 x 11. Worth it just for that. I always squeeze the whole contact sheet onto 8x10 and it's a tight fit.This is what I use 8.5x11 RC paper for.

Was that a better fit for metric users for some reason.?
I have bought Ilford RC Gloss in that size because it was real cheap. It works great as a contact sheet, so i have been using it for that.
Thank You
Nope. It's 21.6cm x 27.9cm, or 8-1/2 x 11 inches:I think you may be referring to Ilford's A4 RC paper, which is 210mm x 297mm which, when divided by 25.4mm one gets, 8.27" x 11.69"...
Ilford sells A LOT of different sizes. Way more than i have ever used, but he box i have is 50 sheets and it says.........I think you may be referring to Ilford's A4 RC paper, which is 210mm x 297mm which, when divided by 25.4mm one gets, 8.27" x 11.69". This is indeed a wonderful size if you use 35mm film, as it it far closer in proportion to the 35mm film size.
210mm divided by 24mm = 8.75", 297 divided by 36mm = 8.25". I've been using this size paper for decades, but never for contact sheets, too expensive.

Ps: I don't wish to mention that I purchased 2 x 100 sheet boxes of Ilford MGIV 8x10" RC paper last month; grrrrrr.
Satin, glossy and pearl.I'll have to get a box for my students...I wonder if it will come in other finishes, such as satin...
Satin, glossy and pearl.
