A decent utility paper

It is a decent utility paper, but highlights sometimes come out a little muddy due to the paper itself not being a bright white. And while polyphenol developers can work with this paper, the silver in the emulsion tends to react leaving the whole sheet with a slight greyish tint that compresses the tonal range. Regular paper developers work just fine.

A great product at a really amazing affordable price

I have tried other Foma products before. I’m a fan of Foma Classic 100 film with its great classic look and great contrast. I have also used Fomafix fixer and also find it good product. This photo paper is also a great product at a really amazing affordable price. Very recommended!

great product for pinhole cameras

I used this in a photography class to create long-exposure pin-hole camera images. It was great at capturing and recording enough light to then print by photographing with an ipad, enhancing and then printing the reverse image. Will use again.

Excellent

Beautiful paper, easy to use and dries very nice and flat. Took a few tries to get the hang of how the paper worked best, but it’s been very consistent ever since. I love the velvet finish. I’d definitely repurchase.

Great Enlargement Paper

Great B & W paper at a good price. Super fast shipping.

A professional-grade choice for photographers and artists, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper offers a unique blend of versatility, durability, and affordability. This high-quality, black-and-white, variable-contrast enlarging photographic paper is mounted on a resilient resin-coated (RC) base, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

The Fomaspeed Variant III is renowned for its ability to adjust contrast extensively, ranging from extra soft to ultra hard, simply by utilizing color filters during exposure. This feature provides unparalleled creative control, making it an ideal choice for a wide array of applications, including amateur, commercial, and artistic photography.

One of the standout features of this paper is its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, which, coupled with a bright white paper base and deeply saturated blacks, results in striking, high-resolution prints. The paper is crafted using a silver chlorobromide emulsion, imparting a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image for a truly professional finish.

Designed with efficiency in mind, the Fomaspeed Variant III incorporates developing agents into the emulsion layer, facilitating rapid machine processing and reducing manual processing times to a mere 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius. The resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer not only shorten the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying, but also significantly reduce the consumption of processing baths and washing water.

Available in glossy, matte, and velvet surfaces, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper, Velvet, 16x20", 25 Sheets, offers a tailored solution for every photographic need. Whether you're capturing stunning landscapes, intimate portraits, or intricate still life images, this paper ensures your prints are of the highest quality.
