Foma Fomaspeed Variant III Medium-Weight, Variable Contrast Resin Coated Black & White Paper Matte 8x10" - 100 Sheets
Foma Fomaspeed Variant III VC RC Paper is a neutral-tone, medium-weight, variable contrast black & white paper on a pure white, resin coated base.
Fomaspeed is made using silver chlorobromide emulsion that gives a silver image tone shading from neutral to mildly warm. The paper features a very rich halftone scale from a shining white to a saturated black.
- This paper features short exposure and developing times, due to the built in developing substances in the emulsion to ensure fast and consistent results.
- Its high speed enables to use large lens diaphragm values even at enlarging on large sheet sizes.
- Nice cold to warm image tone. Very good grey tonalities in the range of skin tones.
- A very uncomplicated portrait-photography paper. Easy to process and easy to dry.
- Quality black & white paper manufactured in the Czech Republic and available for the first time in U.S. sizes
- Widely used in over 50 countries around the world

The resulting image tone can be influenced using various types of developers. For a neutral image tone the Fomatol LQN or Fomatol P developers are recommended. Other developers are also recommended such as Polymax (Kodak), Variospeed (Tetenal), PQ Universal (Ilford) or Dektol (Kodak). |
| Base Type | Resin coated base |
| Tone | Neutral-tone, on a pure white base |
| Weight | Medium weight |
| Contrast | Variable contrast, multi-grade (0-5). |
| Surface Finish | Matte surface |
| Safelight Compatibility | Fomaspeed Variant III is a material with orthochromatic sensitizing and therefore suitable safelights shall be used. Dark red filter for orthochromatic materials (such as Kodak 1, Ilford 906) and a 15 W bulb are quite suitable. The paper should be exposed to the safelight only for a necessary short time. |

Comments about Fomaspeed Variant III VC RC Paper 8x10/100 Sheets:
I use this product on a daily basis to create original custom prints to sell to clients. This is the best paper when using Marshall's photo oil paint to create even and nonstreaked results. My only concern about the paper is the lack of people still using the sacred darkroom instead of the computer and if I would be able to purchase the it in the future.
