Ilford Gallerie Papers-Revisited

2001-12-03 by Hap Mullenneaux

Hello from Iowa,
I wanted to check back and see if anyone has had more experience with 
the Ilford Pearls.  The Classic is recommended for dye based inks so 
I have been profiling it with the Epson oem inks for color printing 
and so far it looks very good.  The Smooth Pearl supposedly works 
with pigment inks and is fast drying.  Well, the tone with MIS FS is 
beautiful, but 4 hours after printing I can still smudge ink in the 
midtones.  I'm hoping someone has had it longer and knows that it 
really dries.
Thanks, Hap
