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

From the esteemed house of Foma comes the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper, a premium choice for photographers who demand the utmost in image quality and versatility. This high-quality, black-and-white photographic paper boasts a variable contrast feature, allowing for an extensive range from extra soft to ultra hard tones, simply by adjusting color filters during exposure. The resin-coated (RC) base ensures not only durability but also ease of handling and processing.

Crafted for a wide array of photographic applications, the Fomaspeed Variant III is ideal for both amateur and professional photographers, as well as for commercial and artistic projects. Its exceptional ability to render a very rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades sets it apart, ensuring that your images are imbued with depth and nuance. The glossy finish of this paper accentuates the shining white base and produces deep, saturated blacks, resulting in strikingly vivid prints that capture the viewer's attention.

The silver chlorobromide emulsion used in the Fomaspeed Variant III imparts a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image, contributing to the overall aesthetic quality of the print. This paper is also designed for efficiency; the emulsion layer contains developing agents that expedite both machine and manual processing. Manual development times can be reduced to a swift 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius, making it a reliable choice for those who value both quality and time.

Moreover, the resin-coated paper base, complemented by a thin emulsion layer, significantly shortens the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying. This not only streamlines the printing process but also minimizes the consumption of processing baths and washing water, making it an environmentally conscious option.

Available in a generous 16x20 inch size and with 25 sheets per pack, the Fomaspeed Variant III 311 VC RC Paper in glossy finish is manufactured to the highest standards, ensuring that each print meets the professional expectations synonymous with the Foma brand. Whether you're creating gallery-worthy art or high-impact commercial images, this paper is engineered to deliver outstanding results.
