Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth Pearl - A3 - 25 Sheets - 310gsm

The Smooth Pearl finish minimizes glare and hides fingerprints, providing a sophisticated, professional look that closely resembles traditional photographic prints.

This paper is compatible with most dye-based and pigment-based inkjet printers. However, you must ensure your printer can handle media up to 310gsm and the A3 paper size.

The paper features an instant-dry, porous inkjet design, meaning prints are typically touch-dry immediately after leaving the printer.

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. A 310gsm paper is a heavyweight paper, indicating its thickness and durability, giving it a premium feel.

While the paper offers excellent image quality and durability, long-term archival performance depends on storage conditions and the inks used. For maximum longevity, store prints in a cool, dry, dark place and use pigment inks.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) optically clear nanoporous coating refers to advanced technology that enhances the paper's ability to reproduce a wider range of colors and tones, leading to exceptional imaging performance.

Ensure your printer's ink type (dye or pigment) is compatible. Check the print settings; you may need a more aggressive ink setting for pigment inks. Allow slightly longer drying time if humidity is high.

Verify that your printer can handle 310gsm media weight. Ensure the paper is loaded correctly in the paper tray and not bent or creased. Try feeding one sheet at a time if issues persist.

Adjust printer color management settings. Ensure the correct paper profile is selected in your printing software. Calibrate your monitor for accurate color representation.

The pearl surface is designed to reduce glare compared to a gloss finish. If glare is still an issue, consider the viewing conditions or a different paper finish (e.g., matte).
