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.

Find the perfect balance of quality and versatility with the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper. This high-quality, resin-coated photographic paper is specifically designed for black-and-white enlarging, offering variable contrast that can be adjusted from extra soft to ultra hard using color filters at exposure. Ideal for both amateur and professional photographers, this paper is also suitable for commercial and artistic applications.

The Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper stands out with its rich half-tone scale across all contrast grades, providing a brilliant white paper base and deeply saturated blacks. The paper utilizes a silver chlorobromide emulsion, imparting a neutral-to-medium warm tone to the silver image for a refined, professional finish.

Designed with efficiency in mind, this paper incorporates developing agents into the emulsion layer, enabling rapid machine processing and reducing manual development times to just 60 - 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius. The resin-coated paper base and thin emulsion layer not only ensure a durable, long-lasting print but also significantly shorten the time required for development, fixing, washing, and drying. This results in reduced consumption of processing baths and washing water, making the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper an environmentally friendly choice.

Available in glossy, matte, and velvet surfaces, the Fomaspeed Variant III 313 VC RC Paper is a versatile choice for all your photographic printing needs, delivering exceptional image reproduction whether you're printing in color or black and white.
