Kentmere Select Variabel Contrast Hars Gecoat Papier (20,3 x 25,4 cm, Glanzend, 100 Vel)

After testing a bunch of papers in the darkroom, this medium-weight resin-coated stock is the one I keep reaching for — the variable contrast range is incredibly forgiving across different negatives. The glossy surface dries flat and holds detail in the highlights beautifully, and having 100 sheets

I've been printing on this paper for a few weeks now, and the glossy finish really makes my black-and-white images pop with deep, rich blacks. The 100-sheet box is a solid value for the quality, and it dries flat without curling at all.

The weight of this paper feels just right in the darkroom—sturdy enough to handle multiple chemical baths without curling. I've been getting crisp, clean prints with excellent tonal range from the variable contrast filters.
