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

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.

This paper looks lab quality. Smooth pearl is my favorite finish. Not too flat, not too glossy. Maintains a nice contrast without being reflective. It has a substantial weight to it. Buying in this bulk (250 sheets) provides a decent savings.

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!

I have been a fan of HP Premium Plus Photo Paper in my Photosmart 8750 printer, but that paper is no longer available in 13"x19" Satin finish. I began looking for a replacement when I could only find a few remaining boxes of the HP paper for over $100 for 25 sheets. This Ilford paper has a great reputation, so I decided to give it a try.It's slightly heavier than the HP, but feels thinner due to the smoother back surface. However, it does not feel "cheap." Instead, it looks and feels very similar to the HP paper, but I think it may dry even faster. In fact, the Ilford paper seems to be smudge-proof before the end of the sheet hits the exit tray.The finish is almost exactly the same as the HP Premium Plus Satin paper. If you're familiar with the HP paper, you won't be surprised. I think there may be a little less gloss differential on the Ilford paper, so that's a plus. I can detect no difference between unprinted paper and solid black areas of the print.Also, I have read that some users have complained about the Ilford paper not working well with HP inks. I use a Photosmart 8750 with standard HP inks (lots of HP 102 Photo Gray) and have had only great results.As long as I can find HP ink cartridges for this printer, I'll continue to use it, and it looks like the Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth Pearl is going to be my go-to paper from now on.

My daughter has an art festival in two weeks where she is supposed to show her work. We ordered this paper for the show and were anxious to print some of her images to sell. When we printed the pictures they came out great, however, we noticed a crease down the middle of the pictures - lengthwise. The paper came out of the box this way so it wasn't the printers fault - Canon Pro-100. Very disappointed!

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.

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

This is a thick paper with a beautiful finish which shows off a photo without making it too colorful or stark. I gives the photo a great look, a real look, a gentle look. This is not a paper for really high contrast. In fact, it's purpose is to NOT have high contrast but to be true to the color of the original image. If you begin with a good image, this paper will show it off so beautifully.

using these recently. Excellent colour tones and textures from digital camera source and iphone photos. Excellent Ilford product. Cost a little more than the usual glossy papers but the results justify the extra cost for potraits. Will buy again from the seller.mml

This is my paper of choice now everytime. It gives an amazing finish and the quality is excellent.

This satin paper suits my printer and gives great results.

Always use this make and type of photo paper- find it excellent and very professional in appearance.

Good quality photo paper. Nice weight, really nice prints.
