Arista EDU Ultra VC FB Fine Grain Paper

This fibre-base black-and-white enlarging paper is sold in a 100-sheet pack of 5x7 inch semi-matte sheets. It is intended for darkroom printers who want variable contrast control with traditional silver-gelatin chemistry. The double-weight base provides rigidity for easier handling during processing and long-term archival stability.

Variable contrast and filter compatibility

The emulsion responds to standard yellow and magenta filtration, allowing a continuous range of contrast grades without keeping multiple graded papers in stock. It works with Kodak, Varycon and Ilford filter sets, so existing darkroom filter drawers can be used unchanged. This flexibility lets the printer match contrast to each negative on a single paper type.

Darkroom handling and exposure constraints

The paper must be loaded and processed only under OC, red or sodium-vapour safelights positioned at least three feet from the work area to avoid fogging. It is calibrated for tungsten or tungsten quartz-halogen enlarger sources; other light sources will shift the effective contrast values. Standard black-and-white chemistry is required for development.

Questions about this item

How many sheets are in the box and will I need to reorder often?

The pack contains 100 sheets of 5x7 inch semi-matte fiber-base paper; reorder frequency depends on your printing volume.

What safelight distance is required to avoid fogging this variable-contrast fiber-base paper during long sessions?

Keep standard OC, red or sodium-vapor safelights at least three feet from the paper and limit exposure time to prevent fog.

Does the fiber base or semi-matte surface affect drying time or heat output when processing many prints?

Fiber-base paper requires longer wash and dry times than resin-coated types; no heat is generated by the paper itself during processing.
