From the renowned brand Arista, the EDU Ultra VC RC Paper is a high-quality, variable contrast, black and white enlarging paper, perfect for photographers seeking precision and control. This medium-weight paper features a polyethylene-coated base, offering durability and a professional finish. The EDU Ultra VC RC Paper stands out for its versatility, available in Glossy, Semi-Matte, and Pearl surfaces. It allows for the selection of desired contrast from a range of grades, akin to graded papers, by utilizing yellow and magenta colored filters. This product is compatible with standard Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax/Polycontrast filters, providing the flexibility to adjust contrast from grade 0 through grade 5. You can also use an enlarger color head by tweaking the amount of magenta or yellow filters. Designed for use with tungsten or tungsten quartz halogen light sources, the EDU Ultra VC RC Paper ensures straightforward exposure, depending on the filter system in use. For Ilford Multigrade filters, grades 00 - 3.5 share the same speed rating (ISO P200), while grades 4 through 5 require approximately double the exposure.When it comes to handling and safelights, this product should be opened only in a photographic darkroom illuminated by standard OC, red, or sodium vapor safelights. To prevent safelight fog, ensure that safelights are at least 3 feet from the paper and minimize exposure to safelights.The EDU Ultra VC RC Paper can be processed in either trays or roller transport processing machines. It is compatible with any standard black and white photographic paper developer, with a recommended development time of 60 - 90 seconds at 68 Degree F/20 Degree C. To stop development immediately and extend fixer life, use a standard stop bath for a minimum of 10 seconds at a temperature between 65 Degree -75 Degree F (18 Degree -24 Degree C). Fixed prints should be washed in running water for 3-4 minutes. For optimal preservation, store this paper in a cool, dry place. For prolonged storage, a freezer can be used, but allow sufficient time for warming up and avoid condensation on the paper. Unused paper should be returned to its original packaging for storage. In summary, the Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper, with its variable contrast and multiple surface options, offers photographers a high-quality, versatile tool for their black and white enlarging needs.

Box came a bit dinged up but overall good. Paper performed as expected but needed to develop for longer than recommended on spec sheet in D76.

Good paper for getting back into darkroom workflow

would recommend

Still learning how to use this paper. Claims to be both OC and red light safe. Some fogging with the OC filter. Needs about one additional filter number to get the desired contrast I used to get with other papers. Appears that there has been a recent change in the emulsion across several paper suppliers I have used. Better than some recent experiences I have had with other brands. Still a good value for the price.

A learning curve

I tried this photopaper in the lab and outside in the sun. I am very pleased with my results: clarity, development times  and other important factors exceeded my results. Good paper, I need more!
