Arista EDU Ultra VC FB Glossy 25 Sheets
This variable-contrast black-and-white enlarging paper uses a double-weight fiber base for traditional darkroom printing. It is suited to students and photographers who want hands-on control over contrast grades in a wet-process workflow.
Variable Contrast Handling Under Repeated Use
Contrast adjusts from grade 0 through grade 5 using standard Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax filters, and grades 00 to 3.5 share the same ISO P200 speed rating. Grades 4 and 5 require roughly twice the exposure, so extended sessions need consistent filter discipline.
Darkroom Safelight Limits and Chemical Compatibility
The paper must be handled under OC, red or sodium-vapor safelights with bulbs no brighter than 15 watts. It develops in standard black-and-white chemistry and works with Kodak, Varycon and Ilford filter systems.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the Arista EDU Ultra VC FB paper generate during long printing sessions?
The paper itself produces no heat; heat comes only from the enlarger lamp and chemical trays you use in the darkroom.
What equipment and chemicals must I already have to use this glossy 8x10 inch fiber-base paper?
You need a darkroom enlarger with variable-contrast filters or a colour head, standard black-and-white developer, stop bath, fixer, wash water, and OC or red safelights with 15 watt maximum bulbs.
Will this variable-contrast paper work with my older Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax filter sets?
Yes, it is compatible with Ilford Multigrade grades 00 through 3.5 at ISO P200 speed and grades 4 to 5 with roughly double exposure, plus Kodak Polymax and Polycontrast filters.
