Best paper around for ink jet printing

By Gary
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-06-28

Ilford papers are the cream of the crop of photographic papers for ink jet printing. I particularly am partial to the ILFORD SMOOTH PEARL in all of the available sizes. Long lasting, quick drying, true color reproduction, and professional look from even the simpliest of home printers! Would recommend for any presentation photos also, as quality is unmatched.

Should this paper be printed with Photo black or Matte? My epson P800 automatically changes the ink to matte
Asked by: Manuel
I'm not really sure, it does give excellent blacks on my R-2800. Cut down a sheet to a smaller size and try a small print.

It's a little hard to tell the printable side on this paper, how would I know the printable side?...thanks
Asked by: Anthony
The Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl should have a slight reflective quality on the printable side. You can also moisten your finger and touch a corner. The printable side will be slightly sticky while the back will not stick to your finger at all.
