A LOT of good photo paper. RC paper is great for people who don't want to spend a lot of time and money on getting great prints. The glossy variety produces fantastic, rich blacks that can't quite be achieved on the pearl. The 100 pack is great because trust me, it's really not that hard to use 100 sheets of photo paper over the course of ten hours in the darkroom. Also, Ilford's RC paper is probably the most resilient photo paper I've ever used. I left it in the developer for three minutes and the print still came out perfect. I left it in the water bath for quite a few hours and it still didn't deteriorate in any way. You can pretty much do everything wrong with this paper and it will still do right by you. I really, really, REALLY like this paper and would absolutely choose it over the other types.

The glossy paper when making prints creates great dark blacks & very white whites, and if you're taking a photography class and plan on using many sheets, I would highly recommend buying a larger package rather than a bunch of small ones. You'll save money that way too!

This is a good buy and very quick delivery of this item. Thanks!

I'm very much pleased with the paper

It was cheaper than I thought it would be.

I was very urgent and the paper came right on time.

I had ordered this box of photo paper two semesters ago for a photography class I had. The paper I received was trash. The box was all ready opened by the time I had received it. But someone had done a good job of resealing the box with the special light blocking tape that was all ready on the box. The way I had known that the box was already open, was that the five sheets of paper I had used went completely black when I wad developing. The only way this could happen is if someone exposed to regular light. Whom ever you buy the paper from should be someone who deals with photography. The people I bought the paper from only sold item of people on here.

Ilford is a great company that has stuck by traditional photographers for years now which is really saying something. That commitment to traditional photographers really shows in the quality of this paper. I only use Ilford papers and i can assure you, they are top of the line with consistent quality, which is one of the most important aspects for me. The worst thing is inconsistent paper because there's really no way to be in control of how your prints develop when that's the case.

On a side note, I think I ruined a pack of about 100 sheets of this paper by accidentally leaving it in my car in the 110 degree summer heat here in Texas. I'm still going to try developing it and maybe get some interesting results! Could be interesting but don't make the same mistake I did! Keep your paper protected in the right temperature and humidity.

A 25 pack runs about $25, so this is a steal. I don't have to feel stingy when I print because I have so much paper, which makes printing a lot less stressful. And I can use this paper in the dryer in my darkroom because its Resin Coated. I don't have much experience using many different types of paper, but this is my boyfriend's favourite kind, and I have no regrets buying it either.

This is the paper to get for black and white film photographs, I got it for cheaper than at my local camera store and have no complaints.

Shipping was quick! Very useful for my intro to photography class! I bought a 25 pack at a local store and it was 40 bucks! This was a great deal for 100 sheets pack!

I was happy to find this inexpensive photo paper. I would not recommend rushing the shipment, it seemed to take longer at great expense.
