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.

Madison ★★★★★

I've been printing with this paper for years and the semi-matte surface handles dodging and burning beautifully without glare. The 12x16 sheets are large enough for my favorite compositions but still manageable in trays.

Zoe ★★★★★

The 12x16 inch size is perfect for my larger prints — feels sturdy without being too stiff. I've been using this paper for contact sheets and the semi-matte finish gives me just enough texture to see every detail clearly.

Hannah M. ★★★★★

Finally found a semi-matte paper that holds detail in the shadows without blocking up, and the 12x16 size is perfect for my 4x5 negs. The surface texture is just right for selenium toning.
