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.

Take your photographic printing to the next level with the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper, boasting a professional-grade, matte finish that caters to both amateur and commercial photographers, as well as artists seeking a high-quality medium for their creative expressions. This black-and-white, variable-contrast enlarging paper is engineered on a durable, resin-coated base, offering a versatile range of tones from extra soft to ultra hard by simply adjusting color filters during exposure.

The Fomaspeed Variant III is renowned for its exceptional half-tone scale across all contrast grades, ensuring a nuanced reproduction of the original scene. The paper's surface is characterized by a luminous white that enhances highlights and produces deep, saturated blacks for striking visual impact. Crafted with a silver chlorobromide emulsion, this paper imparts a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image, adding a subtle warmth and depth to your prints.

Designed for efficiency in the darkroom, the Fomaspeed Variant III integrates developing agents directly into the emulsion layer, which accelerates both machine and manual processing times. Expect rapid development in just 60 to 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius. The resin-coated paper base, coupled with a thin emulsion layer, significantly reduces the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying, making it an economical choice that minimizes the consumption of processing baths and water.

This matte version of the Fomaspeed Variant III is available in a convenient 5x7 inch format, perfect for a variety of projects and presentations, and comes in a pack of 25 sheets, ensuring you have ample supply for your printing needs. Whether you're producing fine art prints, engaging in commercial photography, or exploring the art of darkroom printing, the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper is an affordable, high-quality choice that delivers consistent, professional results.
