    Foma papers

    As I understand it the Arista EDU ultra is actually Foma paper. Has anyone tried this paper yet as I can find very little inoformation on it i.e. cold/nuetral tone. There is one Foma paper out there that J&C sells tha is reported to give greenish shadows and I definitely don't want greenish shadows.

    Foma papers

    I don't know if the Arista paper is in fact Foma, but I can say that the Foma papers sold under the Foma name by Freestyle are wonderful papers. They're a medium-speed, neutral-to-warm-tone paper, with no greenish tone to the shadows. Greenish shadows are a common problem when developing in Dektol, especially warm-tone papers. If you experience that problem, try either switching paper developers or toning your prints in Selenium or other cold-tone toning bath. That will get rid of the greenish tint.

    Foma papers

    I've made some tests with these papers for someone here in Sao Paulo who is going to import them. I found excellent papers . They were : Fomaspeed SP312 RC Matt, SP311 RC Glossy, N313 RC Lustre.

    Foma papers

    I spoke to the folks at Freestyle and they verified that edu.Ultra is in fact Foma. There's no non-disclosure arrangement in place like they used to have with Ilford.

    Arista II is Kentmere.
