I am working on a series of photographs which i would like to print on graded FB paper. The prints will be dark overall (from relatively low contrast negatives with black shadow areas), with few highlights and relatively large central areas with very little or no shadow detail (black). I am thinking about using Ilford's cooltone developer. What grade paper should i use (my intent is that the prints are not too contrasty and the black is BLACK). I am also open to recommendations on which paper (ilford...) I should use.

Thanks

Jon
