Customer Reviews

Handsome paper
I used this paper in the PixmaPro 9000 and in my little Pixma too. It prints so nicely and takes the ink quickly. It provides a soft "glow" like quality that makes any picture look professional. I ordered it in all the available sizes. I love, love, love Ilford paper. Above all other paper, Ilford has the nicest finishes and the perfect weight for producing professional prints at home.

Workhorse paper is customer choice
This was the paper that was used in my photoshop class at a local community college. I now have customers, and I have prepared a print portfolio so that the artist could choose the paper that she liked best. For this portfolio I printed the same photo of one of the artist's paintings on my new Canon Pro 9000 Mark II on five different papers - Illford Smooth Pearl and four custom art papers from Canon. The customer choose the Illford print as the best representation of her work. Quite an endorsement for Illford Smooth Pearl!

Perfect low gloss paper
I have been using Epson's Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster with my Epson 3800. While the low gloss is satisfactory, the weight of the Ilford paper is slightly higher. I find that with the Epson paper I get a slight "waviness" that isn't present with the Ilford. It's the perfect paper for the very slight amount of gloss I prefer to a matte paper.
If only they made the same paper in a 17 x 22.
