Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Paper is a great choice for lovers of Luster finish images. The papers tonal range for color prints is spectacular and the tones it picks up for black and white images is just as great!
I find myself buying this paper over and over--a great alternative for those who cannot afford the more expensive brands such as Moab but who enjoy a quality finish all the same.
Well worth the price and superior to printer brand papers such as Canon or Epson.

Exactly what you expect
I use the product for a professional grade print, on a Printer with 8 inks. It holds up well and looks great on display.

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Paper for Inkjet Printers (13 x 19", 25 Sheets):
We print our 5dmkii photos on this paper using a canon i9900 printer and love the results. The pearl finish gives you the gloss feel without the harshness or reflection. Color representation is perfect and ilford has the ICC profiles for their paper on their website.

Comments about Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl Paper for Inkjet Printers (13 x 19", 25 Sheets):
This paper provides a great combination of high color gamut with just the right amount of luster. The finish does not have the glare of high gloss or most semi-gloss papers I have used, so the colors come through without distractions from glare.
Using this on Canon Pixma Pro9000 - Dye based machine

I'm an artist and photographer and I have a Canon printer which will print 13" X 19" prints. The larger paper is good for doing prints to submit to art shows. The finish is the best I have seen for art prints. I love your paper for the weight, finish and size! I haven't found a down side, sorry. Thanks, Mary

I use this to make Military Posters with and it's fantastic. Not only does it look amazing, the quality is smooth and superb. I also like the fact that it doesn't have a glossy or matte finish, because the pearl finish is perfect for posters or prints that are framed.

Purchased this photo paper in order to print a personal portfolio. This paper dries extremely fast, has the right amount of luster to make your images "pop" without looking too overdone. The finish is very resistant to finger prints as well which makes it perfect for displaying your work in the tangible portfolio format.
