Easier to handle and vastly more economical than Fibre papers, this paper benefits from wash times of about 5-10 minutes compared to 1 hour for Fibre papers.

This paper is versatile and has lots of latitude for a good dynamic range. I seem to get good contrast across the prints with this
Nice matte finish paper, usual ilford quality, although worth bearing in mind the matt finish will reduce the brightness of the print compared to gloss
It's great Ilford paper, just in a small format. Perfect size paper for when a contact sheet doesn't give you enough detail to make a good comparison between shots you may want to print larger, or when you just want a print to scan (can be useful when dealing with difficult to scan film, or you want to tone or do some other darkroom experimenting). It's just a shame they don't offer fiber base paper in this format.
Quick fixing and washing times are a good reason to buy this paper. Just because it's RC instead of FB paper doesn't mean you'll lose any quality!
Gorgeous printed up in the higher grades. I shot a portrait and printed the images up at grades 4 & 5. Lovely rich black and clean whites. Beautiful paper with a sumptuous glossy finish
Ilford rarely disappoint, and their paper is no exception. My only complaint (if any) is that sadly nowadays you can't get different weights of paper. It's all standardised.
I recently learnt how to darkroom print (great fun!) and this was the paper they used, so I purchased some for future darkroom work. While I can't say that I have experimented with the full available range of darkroom papers, this paper was durable and very easy to handle. The pearl finish is perfect and subtle. The only reason that I have not given this paper 5 stars is because I am dubious about its performance for displaying art. If you just want to see how the image looks printed and add it to a portfolio box then this paper is perfect. However, if I wanted to make a darkroom print and get it framed for display, I think there are probably more premium papers that could be used. Nonetheless, great darkroom paper that I'll continue to use.
