Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC Paper 16x20 Inch

This variable-contrast enlarging paper uses a resin-coated base and silver chlorobromide emulsion. It is intended for darkroom printers who want traditional black-and-white results with a neutral-to-medium warm tone. The pack contains 25 sheets sized 16 by 20 inches.

Variable contrast and rapid processing

Contrast grades from extra soft to ultra hard are selected with colour filters at exposure, removing the need for multiple paper grades. Developing agents in the emulsion layer cut machine processing to 60 to 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius and also speed up fixing, washing and drying.

Suited for darkroom printers needing fast turnaround

Photographers who require graded papers or cold-tone emulsions should look elsewhere. The resin-coated base is not designed for fibre-based archival workflows or hand-colouring techniques.

Questions about this item

How long can the 25 sheets of Fomaspeed Variant III 312 VC RC paper be stored before the silver chlorobromide emulsion degrades?

Store the paper cool and dry in its original packaging; the emulsion remains stable for years when kept away from heat, humidity and stray light.

What is the practical contrast range limit when printing at grade 5 on this 16x20 inch variable-contrast paper?

Grade 5 delivers the maximum ultra-hard contrast the emulsion can produce; beyond that no further separation is possible without changing paper type.

Does the resin-coated base on the 16x20 inch sheets curl or emit odour during a full day of tray processing at 20 degrees Celsius?

The RC base lies flat and dries quickly; only normal darkroom chemistry odour is present during the 60 to 90 second development cycle.
