I'm finally ready to order some after wanting it for years! Ali Edwards recommended it once and I'm going to get some next week so I can print my pics at home for December Daily.
Problem is, I can't figure out which one on Amazon. Can someone that uses this paper please give me a link to what you would order?
Thanks!!!
Tracie

It may depend on your printer for starters, but when I printed at home I used to use this one with my Canon which was an ink jet printer: Ilford Smooth Pearl on AmazonI didn't see it, but I didn't buy it in that size 4x6, I bought it in 8.5 x 11 sheets. I recognize the packaging though. Same red box with same woman on the cover. I printed the pics years ago and they still look amazing and perfect. An aside, I LOVE Ilford paper. When I used to do my own printing and developing in the darkroom I always used Ilford photo paper and got great results. |

I think ilford went out of business so is no longer making it. Therefore, it can be hard to find. I have some of the Pearl and it is nice but I also really like Kirkland brand glossy photo paper. It is more of a semigloss than glossy as I am not a huge fan of glossy. It is relatively inexpensive - especially when purchased at Costco. It works great on my Epson printer. I use it almost all the time now and don't really notice a huge quality difference.

It's at B&H photo. Just order online. It's an amazing store in NYC. Drool.
Very fast shipping if it's not a Jewish holiday.
It's about $50 for a pack of 8.5 X 11.

Yes I do. I buy mine from National Camera Exchange in suburban Minneapolis. I have used the smooth pearl (which I love). The last time I was there though, they did not have the smooth pearl, so I got the Ilford Galerie Premium paper in the Lustre finish. It is just as nice.
It is not cheap, but I think it is worth it. I like to print 5x7 at home and it works great. BTW, I just looked at their website and it appears that they are still in business.
