Bromide darkroom paper Foma Fomabrom Variant 111 30.5x40.6 cm, 10 sheets

Foma Fomabrom Variant 111 bromide darkroom paper in 30.5 × 40.6 cm sheets is intended for traditional black-and-white silver halide printing. Supplied as a pack of 10 sheets, this fibre-based paper is suitable for contact and enlarger exposures in studio, educational, or hobby darkrooms. It is formulated to deliver stable tonal gradation and reliable handling during standard black-and-white processing, producing prints with consistent midtones and shadow detail when processed with conventional chemistry.

Advantages

The paper offers consistent tonal reproduction across the sheet surface and predictable behavior under common developer, stop bath and fixer sequences. Its sheet format simplifies registration and trimming for contact printing or for use in enlargers, while the surface and base combination supports good image sharpness and rich blacks. The pack quantity of 10 sheets provides a practical supply for short runs, tests or classroom exercises without excess storage needs.

Suitable for

• Contact printing of negatives at 30.5 × 40.6 cm
• Enlarger prints in studio or educational darkrooms
• Black-and-white silver halide printing practice and learning
• Small production runs and test prints

Key specifications

• Sheet size: 30.5 × 40.6 cm
• Pack quantity: 10 sheets
• Paper type: bromide, fibre-based silver-halide printing paper
• Surface: conventional darkroom matte/semi-matte emulsion suitable for enlarger and contact work
• Compatibility: designed for standard black-and-white chemical processing (developer, stop bath, fixer)

How to use

Handle sheets by the edges in subdued light or a safelight appropriate for bromide paper. Expose the paper using contact or enlarger methods according to negative density and desired contrast. Process in standard black-and-white chemistry: develop until desired image density is reached, stop, fix, wash thoroughly and optionally apply a hypo clearing agent. Dry prints flat or on drying racks to avoid curling; flatten if necessary after drying.

Usage recommendations

Test exposure and development times on a single sheet before committing to a full run. Use appropriate safelight conditions and fresh chemistry for consistent results, and allow prints to wash long enough to remove fixer residues for archival stability.
