Ilford Smooth Gloss and Costco Professional Photo Glossy

Ilford Smooth Gloss and Costco Professional Photo Glossy

2006-03-27 by Bob Marsolais

Has anyone done any recent comparisions between Costco's Professional 
Photo Glossy (made in Switzerland) and Ilford's Smooth Photo Gloss 
Paper?  At one time there was discussion that suspected Costco's 
papaer was manufactured by Ilford.  Has anyone done any printing on 
both of these papers to know how they compare?

Tried both with UT-R2.


Very close, but costco is a - very - little whiter.
Anyway, DMAX is far better then Epson Premium Glossy.

You should try (didn't try myself yet) Ilford Printasia, which is 
priced below Gallery, with a weight very very similar to costco 
(gallery is heavier)
