Foma Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper, Velvet, 42.5"x33' Roll

From the darkroom to the display, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper, Velvet, 42.5"x33' Roll, is a superior choice for photographers and artists who demand excellence in black-and-white photo printing. This high-quality, variable-contrast enlarging photographic paper is mounted on a durable resin-coated (RC) base, offering both resilience and exceptional ease of handling.

Crafted for a wide range of applications, from amateur and commercial photography to fine art projects, this versatile paper allows for extensive contrast adjustments. By utilizing color filters during the exposure process, users can seamlessly transition from extra soft to ultra-hard contrast, ensuring that every image can be tailored to the desired artistic vision.

The Fomaspeed Variant III stands out with its remarkable half-tone scale that remains consistent across all contrast grades, providing a spectrum of grays that bring depth and life to every photograph. The velvet surface finish adds a luxurious texture that enhances the visual appeal of prints without compromising on detail or clarity.

A shining white paper base serves as the perfect backdrop for the rich, saturated blacks produced by the silver chlorobromide emulsion. This emulsion not only delivers a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image but also contains developing agents that expedite both machine and manual processing. Photographers can expect development times to range between 60 to 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius, significantly reducing the time spent in the darkroom.

The combination of the resin-coated paper base and a thin emulsion layer dramatically shortens the overall time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying. This efficiency extends to the conservation of processing baths and washing water, making the Fomaspeed Variant III an environmentally conscious choice for today's eco-aware professionals.

Available in a generous 42.5"x33' roll, this paper is perfect for creating large-scale works or a series of smaller prints with consistent quality. Whether you're producing exhibition prints, portfolio pieces, or archival-quality photographs, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper, Velvet, is engineered to meet the exacting standards of the most discerning photographers and artists.
