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

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

It's time to elevate your photographic printing with the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper. This high-quality, durable, and professional-grade paper is specially designed for black-and-white variable-contrast enlarging. Crafted on a resin-coated (RC) paper base, it offers a versatile matte finish that's perfect for both amateur and commercial photographers, as well as artists seeking to enhance their work.

The Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper stands out with its ability to vary contrast extensively, ranging from extra soft to ultra hard, simply by using color filters at exposure. This feature allows photographers to achieve a wide range of effects, making it a versatile choice for various applications.

One of the key features of this paper is its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, which ensures a detailed and nuanced output. The paper base shines with a brilliant white, while the blacks are deeply saturated, providing a striking contrast that will make your images pop.

Manufactured using a silver chlorobromide emulsion, the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper 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 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius.

The resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer not only enhance the quality of your prints but also significantly shorten the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying. This efficient design reduces the consumption of processing baths and washing water, making it an eco-friendly choice for photographers.

Available in glossy, matte, and velvet surfaces, the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper is a testament to Foma's reputation for producing reliable, long-lasting, and high-quality photographic products. Choose Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper for your next project and experience the difference in quality and performance.
