Rated 5 out of 5

Good paper for getting back into darkroom workflow

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.

A learning curve

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.

X-ray Artist Approved

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!

I liked the finish on this paper - it was easy to use, obvious which side is emulsion in darkroom. Worked well

Good quality photo paper

I ordered this particular paper for a black and white darkroom photography class, and it has been working very well! I like the pearl finish, and it arrived in good time.

A decent paper to use. Good DMax.

An economical paper. Good DMax. Decent highlights. Works well with split grade printing and also works well with Polyphenol developers. And reasonably priced as well.

Make your photographic prints stand out with the Arista.EDU Ultra VC RC Paper. This high-quality, durable, and versatile paper is designed for black and white enlarging, offering a variable contrast that allows you to select the desired contrast from a range of grades similar to that of graded papers.

The Arista.EDU Ultra VC RC Paper is coated with a medium weight, polyethylene base, enhancing its durability and longevity. It's available in Glossy, Semi-Matte, and Pearl surfaces, catering to a variety of printing needs.

This professional-grade paper is compatible with standard Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax/Polycontrast filters, allowing you to adjust the contrast from grade 0 through grade 5. You can also use an enlarger color head by adjusting the amount of magenta or yellow filters.

Designed for use with tungsten or tungsten quartz halogen light sources, the Arista.EDU Ultra VC RC Paper ensures optimal contrast values. The exposure guide is straightforward, depending on the filter system in use.

Handle this paper in a photographic darkroom illuminated by standard OC, red, or sodium vapor safelights such as Thomas brand safelights. Ensure that safelights are at least 3 feet from the paper at all times and minimize exposure to safelights.

The Arista.EDU Ultra VC RC Paper can be processed in either trays or roller transport processing machines. It's 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.

After development, 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) to stop development immediately and extend fixer life. Washing fixed prints in running water for 3-4 minutes ensures the best results.

Store this paper in a cool, dry place for best preservation. For prolonged storage, a freezer can be used. Always return unused paper to its original packaging for storage.

With the Arista.EDU Ultra VC RC Paper, you can achieve professional, high-quality photographic prints at an affordable price.
