- GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl - 8.5 x 11 Inches, 100 Sheets (2001752)

I have a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MkI printer, and have had good results using high gloss Canon Pro Platinum paper. On a whim, I decided to try the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl paper. Wow! what a difference. It has a heavy, real photo paper feel to it, and I like the pearl sheen and the slight texture to the surface. Colors pop much more than with the Canon paper. My b&w images always had a green or magenta color cast with the Canon paper, but b&w prints with the Ilford paper are clean. I just entered four Ilford b&w prints in a show and sold four prints. Downloading the ICC profile for my printer and installing it was a snap. Great paper!

I'm a nature photographer and ordered this paper for my first art show. I wasn't sure what to expect so I went with my gut and the reviews. All of my prints, including nature/wildlife in color and even city architecture in black and white, turned out excellent! The paper is well-matched with my Artisan 1430 and prints true to color. The combination of thickness and pearl finish makes this brand a perfect choice for my photographic needs. Although I was tempted to try other brands for comparison sake, I'm glad I stuck with ILFORD GALERIE Prestige Smooth Pearl because it ended up being a one-size-fits-all for me. I will definitely be re-ordering and happy to recommend this paper to fellow photographers!

Works as advertised

I'm currently using a Canon Pixma Pro-10 to print, and so far the only issues I've had have been created by myself. With image quality turned up, calibrated monitor, and the color spaces set appropriately the color reproduction has been fantastic. The level of detail is excellent, and the contrast is exactly what I was after (Canon is known to lack contrast on matte papers specifically). The paper itself isn't quite as heavy as others I've used in the past, but given the size, still has a nice feel to it. This is a solid contender in the middleweight papers for me.

I have tried a lot of different photo papers and this photo paper is probably the best I have ever used. It is heavier weight and renders great color and detail...and works great in my Canon photo printers.

I've been using Ilford Ink jet print paper for over 10 years and haven't been disappointed with the results. Used it with my HP 13 X 19 printer and then with the Canon PRO 9000 mkii. Have a number of 13 X 19 prints hanging in my home. My oldest is going on 13 years and hasn't faded. I know it is due ti the inks used but the paper helps.

My go-to paper for printing photographs

I use this with a Epson 3880 - nice weight and surface. Good compromise between gloss and matte. Excellent color - expensive, but that's what you pay for quality

Terrific all round paper for printing, and not nearly as reflective as glossy paper. Highest recommendation !!

High Quality paper, with beautiful soft texture. Definitely worth the price. Recommended

Here is a lesson for you, when you order something check it right away. Ordered this paper, left it in the envelope that it was shipped, finally got around to using it, and upon opening it noticed that one corner of the paper box was dented in. Obviously this package was dropped some where in transit and since they shipped the paper box in a bubble envelope there was no way to see any exterior damage until the envelope was opened. The paper is dented and only about 20 sheets are actually usable at full size, and I am outside of the return window so my loss for not paying better attention, but the previous orders were fine. Anyways, paper is great quality paper what I can use of it. Shipping in an envelope not the greatest idea.

Había usado ya este papel en hojas con muy buenos resultados y esta vez he comprado un rollo por una buena oferta que salió. Magníficos resultados en una Epson 4880.
