Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper

Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper is a traditional black-and-white photographic paper designed for darkroom enlargements. It suits students and photographers who want hands-on contrast control with standard chemicals. The pearl surface adds subtle depth to prints without the glare of glossy finishes. Each pack contains 250 sheets of 5x7 inch resin-coated stock.

Variable contrast grades 0 through 5

Contrast is adjusted from soft to hard grades 0 through 5 using standard yellow and magenta coloured filters. The paper works with Ilford Multigrade and Kodak Polymax or Polycontrast filter systems. An enlarger colour head can also be used for fine-tuning by adjusting magenta or yellow filtration. This flexibility lets you match contrast to each negative individually.

Resin-coated base handles repeated processing

The polyethylene-coated base resists curling and dries quickly for efficient workflow under sustained printing sessions. Medium weight stock feeds smoothly through wash and dry cycles without tearing. Pearl texture maintains consistent appearance across large print runs. Standard black-and-white chemistry develops the sheets reliably from first sheet to last.

Questions about this item

How does the pearl surface affect the final print compared to glossy or semi-matte options?

The pearl surface adds a unique sheen that creates depth and texture in the image, distinguishing it from the higher reflectivity of glossy or the flatter finish of semi-matte papers.

What filter systems can I use to control contrast grades 0 through 5?

You can use standard yellow and magenta filters with Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax and Polycontrast filter systems, or adjust magenta and yellow filtration on an enlarger color head.

Will the 5x7 inch sheets fit standard enlarging easels and developing trays?

Yes, the 5x7 inch dimensions are a standard darkroom format compatible with common enlarging easels, print washers, and developing trays sized for that format.
