Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper Semi-Matte 8×10 25 Sheets

High-Quality Variable Contrast Paper

The Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper is a professional resin-coated black and white photographic paper designed to deliver consistent and high-quality prints. It supports variable contrast grades from 0 to 5, allowing you to easily control print contrast by applying standard magenta and yellow contrast filters. This flexibility makes it perfect for photographers, educators, and darkroom enthusiasts who require precise control over image contrast and tone.

Semi-Matte Surface and Neutral Tone

This paper features a semi-matte finish, which provides a soft texture that enhances the depth and richness of black and white photographs. Additionally, its neutral tonal response ensures that your prints will display natural gradations without any unwanted color shifts or tints. This characteristic is essential for achieving consistent, professional-looking results across different print sessions and projects.

Compatible with Traditional Darkroom Methods

The paper is designed specifically for use with tungsten and quartz halogen enlarger lamps, ensuring proper exposure and development. It dries quickly and handles easily, whether you use hand trays or commercial roller-transport processors. To protect the photosensitive surface during printing, amber or red safelights are required. This combination of features makes the paper ideal for both beginner and advanced darkroom users.

Convenient Sheet Size and Durable Packaging

Each box contains 25 sheets of 8 by 10 inch paper. The sheets have a polyethylene base, which helps prevent curling, creasing, or damage during processing and storage. This durable construction keeps your paper flat and ready to use, even after multiple handling steps. The packaging is compact and easy to store, making it convenient for classrooms, studios, or home darkrooms.

Thanks to its reliable quality and versatility, the Arista EDU Ultra VC RC Paper helps you create clean, sharp black and white prints with smooth tonal gradations and excellent detail. Whether you are printing fine art photos, educational projects, or hobby prints, this paper delivers consistent and satisfying results every time.
