Fotospeed is a first-rate business
Fotospeed is a first-rate business.
I am a professional photographer and, some while ago, decided to start printing. I bought my Canon Pro-1100 printer through Fotospeed, and their service was excellent. They are always helpful and willing to share their knowledge. Furthermore, the wide range of paper they manufacture is of the highest quality.
I met the owners and staff at The Photography and Video Show in Birmingham last week. I am pleased that they are also really nice people, so I'll continue to do business with them. Highly recommended

I use their Stop Bath in my darkroom…
I use their Stop Bath in my darkroom and love it as it is odourless, so i thought i would try the fixer as I had run out of my usual one and I regret the decision ...
The chemical stink is unfortunately truly disgusting and I can still smell it days later even after having disposed of it and washed my tray out.
My usual fixer is odourless, so i will be going back to that and won't be using this stuff again.

Well presented, practical course
Well presented course focused on preparing and printing black and white images. It was particularly useful to be able to print my own images on the same printer that I own in order to explore its potential. I also valued the opportunity to optimise the printing of my B&W images on various Fotospeed papers.
