FEATURED REVIEWS
Trusty paper with the best price
At the beginning I was not much confident with the paper to serious work due to its low price, but I was wrong: the paper has all the characteristics that makes it just perfect for press work, and the gallery work where you have a very good separation on the highlights on the negative. Its very strong in the shadows, as good as any photo paper on the market price tagged as high as you want. I'll buy again, for sure.
Buy this now!
Man, these are great. Just like Ilford's! but much less moneys! The gloss finish is as expected, renders beautifully, similar times to Illfords, it drys flat as predicted. I have no complaints. If you are worried about 3rd party grade Adorama paper not turning out the way you think it would, I assure you that you have nothing to worry about. This stuff is yummy great! And Much more affordable!
Adorama VGRC is a high speed, variable contrast, black and white enlarging paper with a medium weight, polyethylene coated base. The paper base is 190 g/m2 coated on both sides with 40 g/m2 of polyethylene giving a base weight of approximately 270 g/m2 and a thickness of approximately 245 microns. The silver halide emulsion has a silver content of approximately 1.5 g/m2.
Adorama VCRC gives a consistent image tone across all grades, exhibits excellent image sharpness and is available in Glossy & Pearl surfaces. The use of yellow and magenta colored filters permits selection of required contrast from a range of grades similar to that of graded papers. A neutral-cool image tone and clean white base combine to give a high quality paper equally suitable for tray or machine processing.
Adorama VGRC is designed for use with tungsten or tungsten halogen light sources, other light sources may give different contrast values. Exposure of the paper is straight forward, depending on which filter system is in use. For Ilford Multigrade filters, grades 00 to 3.5 have the same speed (ISO P250) and grades 4 and 5 require approximately twice the exposure. For the filter settings of table B, grades 0 to 4 have the same speed (ISO P320). Grades 00 and 5 require more exposure (ISO P250). When no filter is used, the paper has a contrast of approximately grade 2 and a speed of ISO P 640.
Open only in a photographic darkroom illuminated by standard OC or red safelights containing 15 watt bulbs or equivalent. The safelights should be at least 3 feet from the paper at all times and good working practice of keeping exposure to safelights at a minimum should be adopted. Unused paper should be returned to its original packaging for storage.
