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

By DENNIS K.

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

If you're in search of a high-quality, black-and-white photographic paper, look no further than the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper. This variable-contrast enlarging paper, set on a durable resin-coated (RC) base, offers unparalleled flexibility in contrast adjustment. From extra soft to ultra hard, you can easily manipulate the contrast using color filters at exposure, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, including amateur, commercial, and artistic photography.

One of the standout features of the Fomaspeed Variant III is its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades. This, coupled with a bright white paper base and deeply saturated blacks, ensures your images are reproduced with stunning clarity and depth.

The paper is crafted with a silver chlorobromide emulsion, imparting a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image. This unique emulsion also incorporates developing agents, enabling rapid machine processing and reducing manual development times to a mere 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius.

Thanks to the resin-coated paper base and a thin emulsion layer, the Fomaspeed Variant III not only shortens the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying, but also minimizes the consumption of processing baths and washing water.

Available in glossy, matte, and velvet surfaces, the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper is a versatile choice for photographers seeking superior quality and efficiency. Each pack contains 25 sheets of 11x14" paper, providing ample material for your creative endeavors.
