All our Black and White Lambda prints are produced on genuine ILFORD Black and White silver gelatin photographic paper. With ‘resin coated’ papers, the paper is essentially encapsulated in a plastic envelope and the emulsion stuck on the outside of the resin. The prints have a consistent and neutral image tone (in other words – none of the colour casts associated with printing black and white images on colour paper) and the paper offers fine tonal benefits including strong blacks and subtle highlight detail.
