Kentmere is a great British paper but in 2016 is beginning to get gaps in its range. For example in hard grades and large sizes and even in the semi mat range as a whole the choices have been slowly reducing for a few years now.


We have decided to sell Foma's Czech-made grade paper to bridge these gaps. They produce lovely graded paper with neutral blacks and a high light sensitivity.


Available in Glossy or Semi Matte there is a choice of three grades soft (1), normal (3) and hard (4). It is a neutral-to-warm photo paper on an RC base and it stands out above all because of its good tonal range in the highlight areas. Like Kenthene, with its silver chlorobromide emulsion it also has developing agents incorporated in the emulsion, resulting in very short exposure and developing times.


Red or dark red dark room safelight should be used.

Ava ★★★★★

Finally a paper that handles hard grade contrasts without any fuss in the darkroom. The gloss finish really makes shadows pop, and 12x16 gives me room to compose without cropping.

Kevin A. ★★★★★

The 12x16 inch sheets are a generous size for printing medium-format negatives, and the glossy surface gave my test shots that classic wet-look finish I was after.

Miles G. ★★★★★

The deep blacks and crisp whites on this paper are exactly what I needed for my architectural prints. It handles the 12x16 size beautifully, giving me plenty of room to work with in the darkroom. Haven't seen such consistent fiber-based gloss in a while.
