The new technology of variable contrast papers is allowing photographers to produce prints with tonal scales that have never been possible in the past. Brilliant VCIII is leading the charge toward giving those who print the ability to produce prints that are rich with deep and expressive blacks and yet maintain delicate details in the whites. This third generation of Brilliant variable contrast, fiber base paper offers the same neutral image color and smooth surface appearance as its predecessor, but with extended contrast (particularly at the low end), a slightly heavier stock and a slightly faster emulsion. The new VCIII lends itself to modern VC light sources or to ""split printing"" techniques and, of course, accepts selenium toner.
