This is one of the best photographic ink-jet printing papers that I've ever used for the price. Produces a professional quality print from both my Epson and Hewett Packard art printers. Nice thickness and surface quality. Accepts archival inks well with nice coverage. Renders prints compatible to traditional pearl finish studio prints. I've been using this paper for printing professional wedding photos, children's portraits and other photos with great customer satisfaction for years. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good economical ink-jet printing paper with professional quality.

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Inkjet Photo Paper (8.5x11.0", Letter, 100 Sheet):
I ordered this paper for my photo class and so far have gotten some really beautiful prints from using it. Brilliant color. No complaints :) The best part was that it was in stock and reasonably priced here as opposed to other retailers who would take 2-3 months to ship it ... thanks B&H!

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Inkjet Photo Paper (8.5x11.0", Letter, 100 Sheet):
I use this paper on a regular basis, and my local store has it priced around $15 for 25 sheets.
This is a great deal, and now I don't have to buy it as often, because I'll have it on hand since I bought 100 sheets.
Love B&H Photo also, good value!

This is a wonderful paper to use. I use it with a Canon Pro9000 mark II. It has the qualities of a luster paper...nice saturation and contrast, yet low glare.

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Inkjet Photo Paper (8.5x11.0", Letter, 100 Sheet):
While every company that makes printers makes photo papers, not all are equal. Ilford has so much experience in photo papers long before the inkjet printer showed up. i like my digital prints to look like fine photo prints made from negatives. Great results every time.

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Inkjet Photo Paper (8.5x11.0", Letter, 100 Sheet):
This is a paper that you can use for special project as well as everyday work. It has a high tolerance range but prints especially well with its profile. The color range is marvelous for a paper of this price and the tonal quality and range equals the color production. It is also very forgiving; it will look good whether you use dye or pigment ink. If you want a luster paper that will serve you and your customers for a variety of picture this could be it.

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Inkjet Photo Paper (8.5x11.0", Letter, 100 Sheet):
This paper is great - has a similar feel and weight to C-paper. I'm using it for color printing on an Epson R2400. Gloss-differential is basically unnoticeable.
I really love the paper and would recommend it to anyone.
