Traditional Black-and-White Enlarging Paper

Fomaspeed Variant III is a variable-contrast, resin-coated photographic paper intended for darkroom printing. The silver chlorobromide emulsion delivers a neutral-to-medium warm tone suited to amateur, commercial and artistic work. Each pack contains 100 sheets in an 8x10 inch format.

Behaviour Under Sustained Printing Sessions

The resin-coated base and thin emulsion layer reduce the time needed for development, fixing, washing and drying. Developing agents in the emulsion allow manual processing in 60 to 90 seconds at 20 degrees Celsius and support rapid machine processing. This cuts bath consumption and water use during long print runs.

Upgrade From Fixed-Grade or Fibre-Base Papers

Photographers moving from single-contrast papers gain full contrast control from extra soft to ultra hard using colour filters. The RC base replaces fibre-base stock when faster turnaround and lower chemical use are priorities. It is not for users who require the archival characteristics or surface depth of traditional fibre-base media.

Questions about this item

How warm does the RC base get under continuous enlarger exposure?

The resin-coated base and thin emulsion layer keep processing times short at 60 to 90 seconds, so heat build-up during normal printing sessions is minimal.

What chemicals and trays do I need to develop these 100 sheets?

Standard black-and-white developer, stop bath, fixer and wash water are required; the incorporated developing agents cut development to 60 to 90 seconds at 20°C.

Will my existing variable-contrast filter set work with this paper?

Yes, contrast is adjusted from extra soft to ultra hard using colour filters at exposure, so any standard VC filter set is compatible.
