Variable-contrast fiber paper

Fomabrom Variant III 111 VC FB is a traditional black-and-white photographic paper on a double-weight fiber baryta base. It is intended for darkroom printers who want full control over contrast using variable-contrast filters during exposure. The glossy finish suits portrait, landscape and still-life work where rich half-tone separation matters. Amateur and commercial photographers alike can process it in standard black-and-white chemicals.

Variable-contrast limits

Contrast is adjusted by placing colour filters in the enlarger light path, shifting the grade from extra soft to ultra hard without changing paper boxes. The practical limit is the filter set you own and the enlarger’s ability to hold them; extreme grades may require longer exposures or reciprocity adjustments. No other contrast-control method is built into the emulsion.

Ten-sheet capacity

The pack contains ten sheets measuring 20 by 24 inches, giving enough material for a modest printing session or a small exhibition series. Large-format contact printers will find the sheet count tight for proofing multiple negatives. Darkroom workers planning extended runs should budget for additional packs.
