The Arista.EDU Ultra FB VC Fine Grain Paper is designed for use with tungsten or tungsten quartz halogen light sources, although other light sources may yield different contrast values. The exposure of the paper is straightforward, depending on the filter system in use.

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. To prevent safelight fog, ensure that safelights are at least 3 feet from the paper at all times and limit exposure to safelights.

Processing the Arista.EDU Ultra FB VC Fine Grain Paper is simple and can be done in either trays or processing machines approved for photographic papers on a baryta base. The paper can be developed in any standard black and white photographic paper developer, with a general development time of 90 - 120 seconds at 68 Degree F/20 Degree C.

After development, a standard stop bath can be used 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 can be used to shorten wash time and save water.

For storage, keep the paper in a cool, dry place. For prolonged storage, a freezer can be used. Always allow sufficient time for warming up and avoid condensation forming 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 FB VC Fine Grain Paper, a perfect choice for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts alike.
