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.

How does the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper stand out in the world of black-and-white photography This variable-contrast enlarging photographic paper, with its resin-coated (RC) base, offers unparalleled versatility and quality. Its contrast range is impressively broad, allowing for adjustments from extra soft to ultra hard using color filters during exposure. This makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including amateur, commercial, and artistic photography.

The Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper is renowned for its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, providing a depth and nuance to your images that few other papers can match. The paper base shines with a brilliant white, while the blacks are deeply saturated, creating a striking visual contrast that will make your photos pop.

One of the key features of this paper is its silver chlorobromide emulsion. This gives a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image, adding an extra layer of depth to your photographs. The emulsion also contains developing agents that facilitate rapid machine processing and shorten manual development times to between 60 and 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius.

The Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper is not just about delivering high-quality images; it's also about efficiency. Thanks to its resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer, the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying is significantly reduced. This not only saves you time but also reduces the consumption of processing baths and washing water.

Available in glossy, matte, and velvet surfaces, the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper is manufactured to meet the diverse needs of photographers. Whether you're capturing a stunning landscape or a detailed portrait, this paper ensures your images are presented in the best possible light.
