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.

Love Fomatone. Both matte & glossy. Use religiously? ( I normally print a little larger, so hope you?ll keep both in stock in 11x14 size).

Before you capture the essence of timeless elegance in your photographic prints, consider the Fomatone MG Classic 131 VC FB Paper. This high-quality, glossy 8x10" paper, available in a pack of 25 sheets, is the quintessential choice for photographers who are passionate about creating images with a warm, classic appeal, particularly in the realm of portrait photography and vintage-inspired artistic works.

Crafted with a unique silver chlorobromide emulsion, the Fomatone MG Classic 131 paper offers a dynamic range of warm tones. The emulsion reacts to color filters during exposure, allowing for an extensive variation in contrast - from the delicately soft to the strikingly ultra-hard. This flexibility empowers photographers to fine-tune the mood and depth of their prints with precision.

The warm tonal range this paper produces is not merely a result of the emulsion alone; it is also influenced by the type of developer used. This interaction can yield a spectrum of brown-green to warm-brown hues, enriching your prints with a diverse palette of warm halftones. From light cream highlights to saturated brown-to-green blacks, the paper's inherent coloration is designed to harmonize with the developed silver tones, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your images.

The Fomatone MG Classic 131's paper base is a luxurious baryta (FB) coating, which is a double-weight paper that adds a depth and quality feel to each print. The glossy surface option ensures that your images will have a reflective sheen, bringing out the vibrancy and detail of your work.

While the paper's low sensitivity is tailored for contact printing, its versatility extends to enlargement processes as well, giving photographers the freedom to explore different printing techniques. Additionally, the special emulsion is conducive to creative 'lith' printing processes, offering artists the opportunity to experiment with a range of unique photographic effects.

In summary, the Fomatone MG Classic 131 VC FB Paper is a premium choice for those seeking to imbue their photographic work with the nostalgic charm and sophisticated tonality of a bygone era. Whether you are a professional portrait photographer or an enthusiast of retro-style imagery, this paper will elevate your prints to a level of classic grandeur.
