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 four separate surface finishes - Glossy,
Satin, Fine Lustre and Fine Lustre Warmtone.

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. Also recommended, in
alphabetical order, are: Agfa Multicontrast, Champion B&W Multicontrast,
Ilford Multigrade, Kodak Polymax and Tetenal Variospeed developers,
together with their appropriate fixers. Equivalent products from other
manufacturers should give similar results. 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.
