Description
VC Select is a black and white enlarging paper with a polyethylene coated base, coated with a variable contrast emulsion. Using standard Colour filtration, contrast grades from 00 to 5 are achievable in half grade steps .
VC Select is available in two separate surface finishes – Glossy and Fine Lustre surfaces. See below for further details.
Safelights
Open only in a darkroom, illuminated by safelights Ilford 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 is recommended, under both machine and dish development.
We do not recommend conventional manual developers, which tend to inhibit both D Max and contrast. Detailed processing recommendations are included with all boxes and packages.
Surfaces
Glossy
This paper has built-in glaze to provide the maximum black density and overall print brilliance. Maximum gloss is achieved through hot air drying.
Fine Lustre
An attractively textured surface which combines the depth of image and blacks normally only found with glossy papers, with the subtlety and handling advantages of a semi-matt.
