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.

What you're looking at is the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper, a premium quality, black-and-white, variable-contrast photographic paper that's perfect for a wide range of photography applications. This resin-coated (RC) paper base product is renowned for its versatility, catering to amateur, commercial, and artistic photography, as well as other diverse applications.

The Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper stands out with its ability to vary its contrast extensively, ranging from extra soft to ultra hard, simply by using color filters at exposure. This feature allows for a high degree of creative control, making it a favorite among photographers.

One of the key features of this glossy 5x7" paper is its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades. This, coupled with a brilliant white paper base and deeply saturated blacks, ensures stunning, high-quality prints every time.

This photographic paper is crafted using a silver chlorobromide emulsion, imparting a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image. It also 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 Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper is not just about quality and speed, it's also about efficiency. Thanks to the resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer, the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying is significantly reduced. This not only saves time but also reduces the consumption of processing baths and washing water, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Whether you're looking for a glossy, matte, or velvet surface, the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper has you covered. Each pack comes with 25 sheets, ready to bring your photographic vision to life.
