Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper

This variable-contrast black-and-white enlarging paper is made for photographers and artists who process prints in a traditional darkroom. The semi-matte finish on a resin-coated base delivers a distinctive texture and tonal depth suited to fine-art and exhibition work. It is not intended for digital inkjet or RA-4 colour workflows, nor for users who need glossy or pearl surfaces.

Semi-matte finish and resin-coated base

The polyethylene coating keeps processing times short and drying flat, while the semi-matte surface reduces glare without the high reflectivity of a glossy sheet. Standard OC, red or sodium-vapour safelights can be used during handling. Tungsten or tungsten quartz halogen enlarger sources give consistent contrast rendition across the full grade range.

Works with Ilford Multigrade and Kodak Polymax

Contrast can be adjusted from grade 0 to grade 5 using common variable-contrast filter sets or an enlarger colour head with magenta and yellow filtration. Ilford Multigrade grades 00 to 3.5 share an ISO P200 speed; grades 4 and 5 need roughly double the exposure. The pack contains 100 sheets sized 8x10 inches.

Questions about this item

How do you load the 8x10 inch RC paper into an enlarger easel without fogging it?

Handle the paper only under a standard OC, red, or sodium vapor safelight in the darkroom; load it emulsion-side up into the easel before making the exposure.

When will the developer and fixer chemicals need to be replaced during a printing session?

Replace the standard black-and-white developer and fixer once they become exhausted or contaminated, which varies with the number of 100 sheets processed and the dilution used.

At what contrast grade does the exposure time first need to be doubled?

With Ilford Multigrade filters, grades 00 through 3.5 share the same ISO P200 speed; starting at grade 4 you must give roughly twice the exposure.
