Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper

Fomaspeed Variant III 312 is a black-and-white variable-contrast enlarging paper on a resin-coated base. It is made for amateur, commercial and artistic darkroom printing. The silver chlorobromide emulsion delivers a neutral-to-medium warm tone with rich half-tone separation and saturated blacks across all contrast grades. The pack contains 10 sheets in a 20x24 inch format.

Simple darkroom handling with fast processing

The resin-coated base and thin emulsion layer shorten development, fixing, washing and drying times compared with fibre-based papers. Developing agents in the emulsion allow manual processing in 60 to 90 seconds at 20 degrees C and suit rapid machine processing. Contrast is adjusted from extra soft to ultra hard by using colour filters during exposure. No special equipment beyond a standard variable-contrast enlarger and colour filter set is required.

Suited for variable-contrast RC workflows

This paper suits printers who want fast turnaround and consistent contrast control across a wide grade range. It is less appropriate for photographers who prefer the archival qualities or surface character of traditional fibre-based papers. Buyers needing a glossy or velvet surface should choose a different variant of the same series. Those without a colour filter set or variable-contrast enlarger will not be able to use the full contrast range.
