Ilford MGT.1M 24.0 X 30.5cm 10 Vel

Ilford MGT.1M 24.0 X 30.5cm 10 Vel | Ten sheets for planned prints

Without a dedicated sheet size in mind, it’s easy to end up planning a print around whatever paper happens to be available. Ilford’s MGT.1M photo paper gives you a defined format and a 10-sheet quantity to work with. It suits photographers who want to make a small run of prints, or who need a set amount for a specific project rather than a large stock. The sheet measures 24.0 × 30.5 cm, so it gives you a clear working area to consider when preparing an image for printing. That’s the most useful thing to know about this pack: its format and count are stated plainly, making it easier to plan how many prints you can make. If you’re choosing paper for a project, start with the size of the finished print you have in mind and see how it fits this sheet.

Planning your prints

A fixed paper format can be a helpful starting point when deciding how to frame an image. Allow for the way you want the picture to sit on the sheet, including any space you’d like around it, before settling on a crop. With ten sheets, you can plan a short print session around a known quantity. It’s a practical amount when you have a limited set of images to work on, or want to keep the paper choice consistent across a small batch. The colour is listed as black. That’s a useful detail to keep in mind when matching the product to your intended use; the item is identified as photo paper, and the name and size give you the clearest guide to selecting this particular pack.
