Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper 11x14 Pearl
Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper is a traditional black-and-white enlarging paper with a pearl surface and resin-coated base. The variable-contrast design lets you adjust print contrast from grade 0 to grade 5 using standard filters. Each pack contains 25 sheets sized at 11 by 14 inches. It is intended for darkroom practitioners who process prints in standard black-and-white chemistry.
Darkroom setup and filter compatibility
Before ordering, verify that your enlarger uses tungsten or tungsten quartz halogen light sources, as the paper is designed for these. You will need Ilford Multigrade, Kodak Polymax, Polycontrast, or Varycon filters, or a colour-head enlarger with magenta and yellow filtration. Safe handling requires a darkroom illuminated by OC, red, or sodium-vapour safelights. Ensure your processing trays and chemistry accommodate the 11x14 sheet size.
Resin-coated base and daily handling
The polyethylene-coated base provides a medium-weight, dimensionally stable sheet that resists curling during processing and drying. Pearl texture reduces glare while retaining detail, making it suitable for photographic, graphic-design, and fine-art prints. Resin coating shortens wash and dry times compared with fibre-based papers, so prints move through the workflow faster. The 25-sheet pack is sized for regular darkroom sessions without excessive stock.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and do I need to buy chemicals or filters separately?
The box contains 25 sheets of 11x14 inch pearl RC paper. You must supply standard black and white developer, stop, fix and safelights, plus Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax filters for contrast control.
How do I choose between the contrast grades when printing?
Use Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax filters graded 0 to 5, or adjust magenta and yellow on a colour enlarger head. Grades 00 to 3.5 share the same speed; grades 4 and 5 need roughly twice the exposure.
What does the ISO P200 speed rating mean for my exposure times?
At grades 00 through 3.5 the paper is rated ISO P200, so base exposure times follow that speed. For grades 4 and 5 you must approximately double the exposure compared with the lower grades.
