Hi,

I have been curious about this myself. I presently use a Kodak OC filter on my Kodak safelights. Does using a red light mean using an OA filter? Or do they literally mean a red safe light bulb?
 There are red safelight bulbs made by some company....

Cheers,
Bogdan

If it asks specifically for a red safelight, then it's
a pretty safe bet that's what you'll need.
Forte Polywarmtone Elegance was one that needed a red
safelight and it was specified by Forte (at the time),
but I'm unfamiliar with the Fotokemika Varycon you
speak of.

You can always do a safelight test once you get the
paper, but I'd have a red filter at the ready in case
it's needed.
They're useful for orthochromatic graphic arts films a
well. =)

Here's an ignorant beginner question:
If my safe light has been working with older graded
Agfa papers, and all sorts of VC papers, will it work with papers like Fotokemika Varycon that specifically ask for a RED light?
Even though to my eyes it's a an orange light? Do I
really need to spend the money on a red light? Or are there
economical options?
