Worthwhile
This paper is a little slower than Foma's other offerings, which I like. I also like the slightly textured surface. Last but not least, it dries fairly flat I would buy again.
Lithable
Lovely paper for lith printing, the texture of the paper is beautiful...
After careful design and manufacturing, the Fomatone MG Classic 131 VC FB Paper emerges as a high-quality, professional-grade photographic paper, renowned for its versatility and durability. This glossy, 5x7" paper is a product of Foma, a brand celebrated for its commitment to superior photographic materials.
Engineered with a unique variable-contrast feature, this paper is ideal for a broad spectrum of photographic applications, from portrait photography to retro-inspired works. Its contrast can be extensively adjusted from extra soft to ultra-hard, offering unparalleled control over your prints when using color filters at exposure.
The Fomatone MG Classic 131 VC FB Paper is crafted with a special silver chlorobromide emulsion, bestowing the silver image with a warm-brown to brown-green tone.

The paper base is meticulously colored to complement the tone of the developed silver, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your prints. Despite its low speed, this paper is primarily designed for contact work but can also be used effectively as an enlargement paper.
The special silver chlorobromide emulsion of this paper opens up opportunities for creative methods within the "lith" processes. The Fomatone MG Classic is available on a baryta (FB) paper base, double-weight, and comes in a variety of surfaces: glossy, matte, and fine-grain.
