This semi-matte, 11x14" paper features a double-weight, fiber base, ensuring durability and a premium feel.The Arista.EDU Ultra VC FB is a variable contrast paper, allowing for a wide range of contrast grades similar to graded papers. This flexibility is achieved through the use of yellow and magenta colored filters, providing you with the ability to select the desired contrast for your photographic prints.This fine grain paper is compatible with both glossy and semi-matte surfaces, offering you a variety of options to best suit your artistic vision. The contrast control can be adjusted from grade 0 through grade 5 using standard Ilford Multigrade or Kodak Polymax/Polycontrast filters.

The exposure of the paper is straightforward, depending on the filter system in use. For Ilford Multigrade filters, grades 00 - 3.5 have the same speed rating (ISO P200), while grades 4 through 5 require approximately twice the exposure.When it comes to handling and safelights, this paper should be opened only in a photographic darkroom illuminated by standard OC, red, or sodium vapor safelights such as Thomas brand safelights. To prevent safelight fog, ensure that safelights are at least 3 feet from the paper at all times and keep exposure to safelights at a minimum.The Arista.EDU Ultra VC FB can be processed in either trays or processing machines approved for photographic papers on a baryta base. It can be developed in any standard black and white photographic paper developer, with a recommended development time of 90 - 120 seconds at 68 Degree F/20 Degree C.After development, a standard stop bath can be used for a minimum of 20-30 seconds at a temperature between 65 Degree -75 Degree F (18 Degree -24 Degree C) to stop development immediately and extend fixer life. Fixed prints should be washed in running water for 35-45 minutes, and a standard hypo clearing agent or hypo eliminator should be used to shorten wash time and save water.For optimal preservation, store this fine grain paper in a cool, dry place. For prolonged storage, a freezer can be used. In either case, allow sufficient time for warming up and avoid condensation on the paper. Unused paper should be returned to its original packaging for storage. Experience the difference in quality and versatility with the Arista.EDU Ultra VC FB Fine Grain Paper.
