This is a paper with the range, tonal quality, and richness for master prints. Given the relatively small number of fiber-based papers available today, those whose prefer a warm paper with a clean white base will enjoy this one. I am primarily a portraitist, and this is my go-to, toned to varying degrees in a (usually) very dilute selenium solution (1:20) to enhance tonal richness and separation.The surface offers a good look in-between Ilford's matte and newer glossy surface (which is generally slicker than I would like, unlike the former natural gloss surface of years ago; I use it for contact sheets.) I use a kind of subtle varnish on the semi-matte that results in a soft luster that restores much of the tonal depth of the wet print while avoiding a hard gloss.

Although this paper is more expensive than RC papers, and it can take from 5-10 minutes in the fixer as opposed to the maybe 1-3 minutes of RC, this paper will last. It also gives you a wonderful vintage feel, as early papers were fibre based.I don't really like the finish of this paper compared to glossy, but glossy fibre paper is readily available too.P.S. That's Granddad in his youth 😀

I've been using Ilford papers almost exclusively for my darkroom work for about 15 years. Out of thousands of sheets of paper the quality is consistent: I've never received a bad batch.For the last 8 years MG FB Warmtone has been my favorite paper. This paper is not as warm as some warm tone papers, it just adds a subtle nuance to prints. It takes toners (such as gold and selenium) well. Although the Matt finish isn't as punchy/contrasty as the glossy version, I prefer it because it allows me to document my prints (with a DSLR) and not worry about glare--which can otherwise be an issue because this paper does have a tendency to curl somewhat.

I make multiple -image assembled portraits. Each fragment is about 3 1/2x5; each printed from a different close-up negative. The resulting portraits are about 3'x5'. I trim each fragment and then scotch-tape them together and constantly rearrange and reposition until the arrangement feels finished to me. Then, with an X-acto knife and straight edge, I cut all of these layered fragments down to single layer. I mount the taped up piece onto acid-free foam-core and them all of the tape comes off.I develop the paper in LPD developer and selenium tone them ever so slightly until the blacks take on a hint of a reddish tint. I love the tonal qualities that I can get out of it.Please don't discontinue this paper!
Good thing that Ilford is still making papers and film. I have used Ilford film and papers for over 40 years one of the best enlarging warmtone multigrade papers as is their fiber base papers.Its too bad that there isn't more choices of film and enlarging papers anymore. Since the digital age very few photographers even know how to process in a darkroom any more. Great papers from Ilford.
Ilford fiber-based Warmtone Semi-Matte paper has been a favorite for a long time, particularly for the printing of portraits. The tonal range is very good, with lovely (warm) blacks and creamy whites, that work very well for portraits. The semi-matte surface is just luscious. It is a sensual pleasure to hold a finished print in your hand and study it.
This is the best paper for art prints that i know. Almost every day i am working with this paper-making contact prints from 8x10 large format bw negatives,digital negatives,6x6 medium format and even printing from color negatives(using Ilford MG printing filters). And I am keep saying-this is the best paper for art prints. 1) paper produces rich, warm black&white, smooth white and beautiful grey tones 2) paper is very sturdy,thick- I don't afraid that image will be damaged when I am working with different,multiple toners
I have been trying to economize and so have been trying cheaper papers for printing, but it seems you get what you pay for. I tried Foma papers and others but my prints just didn't look nearly as good and the quality control was uneven. Ilford papers are definitely the best, at least for me. If you want a warm tone paper, especially for images you will tone, Ilford produces really high quality results. Worth the extra price
I have really enjoyed using my 16x20 Ilford Multigrade Warmtone paper. It is definitely semi-matt and not shiny in any way. But for art prints that will be under glass, I feel it is perfect. B&H shipped it promptly and it came in excellent shape. Now I just have to find more time to make prints in the darkroom!
I used it to make large prints for a class. 16x20. So which paper to choose was a major issue. I wanted something that would tone well and a surface that would be good for painting, selective bleaching and tinting. A blasted fire alarm revealed a huge strobe light hidden in the darkroom. A print was in the developer. I washed and saved that print. Outstanding velvet black matte surface, so I was convinced I made a good choice. It is expensive, but you can get the same paper in 8x10 to use for proofs and test strips. I wish the box were deeper, there is little overlap and you have to be super careful about trusting just the box and not keeping all sheets in the black bag inside even for short periods in the darkroom. If the white lights come on the box alone even ... MoreI used it to make large prints for a class. 16x20. So which paper to choose was a major issue.

If the white lights come on the box alone even well closed may not protect the sheets not inside the black plastic bag provided. You also have to be careful about those dark yellow safelights they recommend for multigrade paper. The longer development times for fiber based paper can lead to fog in the tray if you are not very careful. Testing is recommended to determine safe exposure time to your safelight and if you need to reduce the exposure. It seems to be an easy paper to fog. The 6 inch filters from Ilford worked very well with this paper.
