Ilford Galerie Fine Art Paper


So I've been going thru some recent photos and some prior works to put in the High Hand Gallery for the "Keepsakes" show running March and April. I came across a picture I just took last week when it snowed here. It had an ethereal look to it and was hoping it would come across that same way in print. I don't like to alter my photos in the first place, but it just looked so good the way it was.

I've tried the matte papers before and wasn't impressed - I'm a die-hard glossy girl. However, this time, maybe because it was in color?? Or maybe it was this particular type of paper?? Ilford Galerie Smooth Fine Art Paper. I mean it came out 'fabulous dahlin'". So I'm going to keep trying using some of this paper for this show and see how it comes out. The one issue I found was that the Epson 2400 printer I bought isn't always listed on the papers. The 2200 is and after the 2400 - did something happen that I don't know about? Because when you print you have to select the type of paper and for some reasons this paper was only listed in a 'roll', but it did give me the option of 'ignoring' this issue. As it was it came out faboo! Check it out!
