Fineprint VC
Three unique alternatives for the discerning image maker seeking the aesthetic qualities of a fibre based paper coupled with the convenience of a variable contrast emulsion. Cool rich blacks, crisp bright whites and exceptional mid-tone detail characterise Fineprint VC Glossy and Finegrain. KentmereÍs unique bromo-iodide technology, with its special construction, offers superior sharpness with separation in even the finest detail. The range also includes Fineprint F.G. Warmtone. Warm rich whites and a subtle, warmer image rendition characterise this paper complemented by its Finegrain Semi-Matt surface. All three surfaces respond superbly to many toning techniques allowing further manipulation of tone and contrast. Whatever your needs, Fineprint VC is the perfect choice for portfolio, exhibition and commercial work where excellence is the criterion.
Description
The Fineprint VC range consists of black and white enlarging papers with
a traditional fibre base, coated with a variable contrast emulsion. Using
standard colour filtration, contrast from grades 00 to 5 are achievable
in half grade steps. Fineprint VC is available in Glossy, Finegrain and
Finegrain Warmtone.
Safelights
Open only in a darkroom, illuminated by safelights llford 902 or Kodak OC
containing 15W bulbs or equivalent. Red safelights may also be used. The
safelights should be at least one metre from the paper at all times and
good working practice of keeping exposure to safelight at a minimum should
be adopted. Unused paper should be returned to its original packaging for
storage.
Processing
To optimise d.max, grade spacing and tonal rendition, a multicontrast chemical
system such as Kentmere VC Select Plus Developer and Fixer, formulated for
use with variable contrast emulsions, is recommended. Also recommended,
in alphabetical order are: Agfa Multicontrast, Champion B&W Multicontrast,
Ilford Multigrade, Kodak Polymax and Tetenal Variospeed developers, together
with their recommended fixers. Equivalent products from other manufacturers
should give similar results. We do not recommend manual developers, which
tend to inhibit d.max and contrast. Detailed processing recommendations
are included in all boxes and packets.
Surfaces
Glossy
The traditional unglazed glossy surface is particularly suited to portrait,
landscape and exhibition work. A very high gloss can be achieved by standard
glazing techniques.
Finegrain
A subtle semi-matt, fine grain surface, especially suited to work requiring
a more delicate image rendition without surface reflection.
F.G. Warmtone
A warm tone semi-matt, finegrain surface, giving a warm, rich image
with subtle creamy highlights. It is particularly suited to images which
require a warmer image rendition.
