Foma Fomaspeed Variant 313 Velvet Reviews

It's fine.

It gets the job done. But for the price, I'd rather get Arista or even better, the much cheaper MultiTone. Those products aren't better, but they deliver the same result for less money.

Very versatile paper

Fomaspeed is neutral in Dektol, slightly warmer in dilute LPD Ethol (Ethol prints tone warmer in selenium, but Dektol prints tone cooler*). Lovely soft tones with Caffenol. Acceptable pseudo-lith effects with lith developer (increased grain, increased contrast and beige/brown tones). Velvet finish is very like Ilford pearl. Best all-purpose paper*****
