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.

Before you delve into the world of professional photography, consider the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper. This high-quality, durable, and versatile matte finish paper is designed specifically for black-and-white photographic printing. As a product of Foma, a reputable brand known for its excellence in the photography industry, this paper guarantees top-notch results for both amateur and commercial photographers.

The Fomaspeed Variant III is a variable-contrast enlarging photographic paper, offering a wide range of contrast from extra soft to ultra hard. This versatility is achieved by using color filters at exposure, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications, including artistic photography, contact printing, enlarging, and mounting.

One of the standout features of this paper is its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades. This, coupled with a shining white paper base and deeply saturated blacks, ensures stunning, high-contrast prints every time. The paper is manufactured using a silver chlorobromide emulsion, which imparts a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image, enhancing the overall aesthetic of your prints.

The Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper also incorporates developing agents into the emulsion layer. This feature facilitates rapid machine processing and shortens manual processing times to just 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius. Thanks to the resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer, the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying is significantly reduced. This not only saves time but also minimizes the consumption of processing baths and washing water, making it an affordable and environmentally friendly choice for photographers.

In conclusion, the Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper, available in 8x10" size with 25 sheets per pack, is a reliable, professional-grade choice for all your photographic printing needs. Choose this product for its quality, convenience, and versatility, and let your creativity shine.
