Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth Gloss 17 inch Roll 310gsm

The HDR (High Dynamic Range) optically clear nanoporous coating enhances imaging performance by allowing for a wider color gamut, deeper blacks, and increased sharpness, resulting in more vibrant and detailed prints.

It is compatible with all high-quality dye and pigment-based inkjet printers. For best results, ensure your printer supports the media weight and width, and use appropriate print settings.

The paper features an 'instant dry' or 'touch dry' surface, meaning prints can usually be handled immediately after exiting the printer without smudging.

The paper weighs 310gsm (grams per square meter), which is considered heavyweight. This gives prints a substantial, professional feel and look, similar to traditional darkroom photographic paper.

Yes, when printed with compatible pigment inks and stored properly (e.g., in an archival album or framed under UV glass), prints on this paper can be archival.

This specific product is the 'Smooth Gloss' variant with a 310gsm weight and a 17-inch roll format, designed to replicate a classic photographic gloss finish. Other papers in the Galerie Prestige range may have different finishes (e.g., matte, luster) or weights.

The paper has a natural photographic white tint, designed to produce excellent color reproduction without the use of artificial brighteners, giving it a true photographic look.

Ensure you have selected the correct media profile in your print driver for a glossy, heavyweight paper. Check that your printer is compatible with pigment or dye inks as recommended.

Verify the correct media type and weight are selected in the printer settings. Avoid over-inking by ensuring your print settings are not set to 'Best' or 'Photo' if the printer is struggling to dry; consider a slightly lower quality setting or use a profile optimized for this paper.

Confirm the roll is loaded correctly and is not snagged. Ensure the paper guides are set appropriately for the 17-inch width. Check that the roll is not damaged or unevenly wound.
