Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl 8 1/2 x 11 inch Inkjet Photo Paper, 100 Sheets (1979239)Customer Review: Ilford Gallerie Smooth Pearl Inket Photo Paper Summary: 5 Stars
As a graphic designer and painter, I am a picky about color saturation, accurate, detailed 'imagery', and this paper delivers on all counts, when it counts. There is slight pearlized texture and paper has some body which contributes to quality of prints (limited prints reproductions of detailed paintings, etc). I also use it for final mock-ups for website design presentations, ads, brochures, print media, etc. (and use Printworks matte paper for the lesser, mid-project mock-ups). I also appreciate the consistency of Ilford's Gallerie Smooth paper..and hope it is consistently available, as well. All to often, you find a paper you like, only to have it replaced, renamed or no longer available. Just one artist's opinion, but I was happy to find this paper, altho I will admit to hoarding it, since it's a bit pricey, but worth it to showcase your best work. Excellent for art photographs, as well.
Customer Review: ILFORD Smooth Pearl Summary: 5 Stars
When I first started developing my own black and white prints almost 30 years ago I fell in love with Ilford pearl. More recently I switched to digital imaging and Ilford Smooth Pearl provides the same beautiful paper finish for ink jet printers that they provided for film developers. The paper has a great look and feel and is reistant to fading. It has the feel of a high quality traditional photo paper. It also works with encapsulated pigmented inks as well as dye based inks. It drys instantly and because of its luster type surface is resistant to smudge marks and finger prints. Ilford also offers a classic version of Pearl, but it is not usable with pigmented inks. I am using Ilford Smooth Pearl with my Epson Stylus 2200 with great results.
Customer Review: Beautiful Photos with Ilford Pearl Paper.... Summary: 5 Stars
I love the "pearl" paper for my photos! The finsh is perfect and so professional looking. Much prettier finish than glossy and better color than matte. And buying it from amazon in 100 quantity box is much more economical than buying from the Camera-Photo Stores, plus you save on the postage. I bought a "pack" with a much lesser amount of paper at a lower price from Adorama, but they charged so much postage that it doubled my price on a regular size pack of paper with only 25 sheets. So from this day forward, I will buy my photo paper from Amazon.
Customer Review: SIMPLY FANTASTIC!! Summary: 5 Stars
I use this paper on my under $100 Canon inkjet printer and the results are simply superb. The colors are so vibrant. This paper was recommended to me
by a friend and I can see why. I see no reason to use any other paper. When I used to do darkroom printing I used Ilford papers so Ilford quality is
well known to me. If there is a better inkjet photo paper out there I'd like to see it.

Customer Review: There is no better paper Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried all the papers. Ilford is above all the others. I only used the Ilford Gallerie Professional Inkjet Photo Range - smooth gloss paper until I tried this. What I just mentioned is fantastic for high gloss prints. Touch dry before it falls from the printer. This pearl finish is excellent - the best for portraits. There is NONE better.
