Digital BW, The Print

I am curious if anyone here with a HP 7960/7760/7660 printer has tried
any of the Ilford Galerie Classic papers yet.  I understand it is
supposed to be an encapsulating paper like the HP papers.  Has anyone
had any luck with it?

Hi Rad,
I have a HP 7660 and have had a nice result using Ilford Galerie 
Classic and Smooth Pearl papers. I like the finish they give. They do 
tend to be a touch warm from memory (I have none at present, gave 
them all away) I sent a sample some time ago to Clayton Jones. I 
suggest you email him for an independent assessment. I have also had 
a nice result from Kodak Ultima (not the latest version). That paper 
remained neutral and I prefered it to HPs paper. Of course the whole 
point is to get long life prints using HP dye based inks so the right 
choice of paper is critical. Perhaps the new version of Ultima may be 
viable. I would like to know if any forum member has thoughts on this 
or is it best just to stick with the HP paper/ink combination.
