I really enjoy using this paper. I did a test strip and noticed that it was very forgiving in terms of what was acceptable and in range for a good print. It is a little soft, maybe not as punchy as the Ilford alternative, but I also didn't use any filters. Its a glossy finish but not overkill. Prints curled a bit when dried face up and less when dried face down. I really like the results I got from this paper and happily rate it 5/5. I have posted some example prints.. photos taken using a sp500 and Takumar 55 f2, prints made using a Rodagon 80mm enlarging lens and intrepid enlarging kit.

This is an outstanding graded photographic paper. This paper outshines any brand of variable contrast paper. Please continue making and selling this product.

This product is great. I purchased it for an introductory photo class and it was very easy to work with.

Great Product, Have been using it for cameraless work and mural printing. Rich blacks and good tone.

I've been printing everything on Ilford's MGFB Classic paper since it was released--another excellent paper. After reading some promising reviews of Fomabrom, I thought to give it a try.
Developed in LPD 1:3, Fomabrom renders slightly warm. It's a bit yellow, better than old MGFB, not as nice as untoned MGFBClassic. It sounds unappealing, but it's not. It's just not neutral.
Toned for 5 minutes in 1:30 selenium, the paper quickly cools to neutral. A really pure neutral silver tone. It tones better than MGFB. If you like toning, you'll love this paper. Blacks are surprisingly deep, and the print becomes dimensional in a way I haven't seen before.
The other distinctive characteristic of this paper is the way it handles highlight detail. High-key negatives are much easier to print than on MGFB. I'd say it has less contrast except that it prints at about the same grade as MGFB. Highlights are just easier to manage.
The downside is that midtones have less separation than MGFB. MGFB just seems to pop more in the mids.
It's an excellent paper to have on hand, especially for high-key negatives or images you intend to tone. Maybe more like the old Oriental variable-contrast paper than MGFB. At this time, the price also makes it an appealing general alternative to MGFB Classic.

I use the product for my photography class in college. It helps me create great images. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the product.

I needed a box of 100 sheets of B & W RC photo paper for a lab class I was conducting for some Girl Scouts. With less than a week until the class, I went on line and could find none of the B & W papers I had been familiar, and/or satisfied with for 40 years. Finally, I purchased an unknown (to me) brand. The day of the class, I found this paper to be of the highest quality in every respect. I had no problems at all, and the paper produced exceptionally high quality prints. Now that I have found FOMASPEED brand, I can remain in film darkroom work for a while longer.
