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.

Just imagine the perfect blend of quality, durability, and versatility in a photographic paper. That's what you get with the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper. This high-quality, black-and-white, variable-contrast enlarging photographic paper is set on a resilient resin-coated (RC) base, offering a broad contrast range from extra soft to ultra hard when used with color filters during exposure.

Designed for a spectrum of photography styles, including amateur, commercial, and artistic, this paper also excels in various applications beyond photography. The Fomaspeed Variant III is renowned for its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, a luminous white paper base, and deeply saturated blacks, enhancing the depth and detail of your images.

The paper's superior quality is attributed to the silver chlorobromide emulsion used in its manufacture, which imparts a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image. This unique emulsion also incorporates developing agents that facilitate rapid machine processing and reduce manual processing times to a mere 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius.

Thanks to the resin-coated paper base and a thin emulsion layer, the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying is significantly reduced. This not only saves you time but also minimizes the consumption of processing baths and washing water, making the Fomaspeed Variant III an environmentally friendly choice.

Available in glossy, matte, and velvet surfaces, the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper is a testament to Foma's reputation for producing professional, long-lasting, and reliable photographic products. Whether you're capturing stunning landscapes, intimate portraits, or intricate still life, this paper ensures your prints reflect the high standards of your work.
