Digital papers closest to Ilford Ilfobrom "glossy"

[sonare]

In my wet photography days (B&W only) I printed onto "glossy" Ilfobrom and let it airdry without ferrotyping. The result was a pleasing combination of a little texture and somewhat shiny surface. Is there a paper in the digital inkjet world that mimics this effect?

You might want to give Canson's Platine Fibre Rag a try. It is a glossy media meaning that it uses Photo Black rather than Matt Black ink.

I am a bit of a digital newbie-- I have a Canon PIXMA Pro100 which has Black, Gray, and Light Gray. Don't know if that is photo black. Can someone tell me?

According to the video by Andy Biggs (a contributor to this forum) on the Canon product website it can print on different types of paper.  It's a dye-based inkset with only a single type of black ink so you don't need to worry about the photo/matte black ink change.

I would love to measure silverhalide and chromogenic paper white samples from today and the past if properly developed, fixed etc. Properly described and falling on my doormat. It could give nice reference material for the inkjet papers I already measured and categorised.

The Getty foundation gathers material like that already but is not interested in inkjet papers it seems. One day I might send them my collection + measurements but they have to pay for the stamps at least. Labor of love here but there are limits to altruism.

Epson Exhibition paper( http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductMediaSpec.jsp?infoType=Overview&oid=-14902&category=Paper+&+Media ) ,Hahnemuehle BarytaFB (http://www.hahnemuehle.com/en/digital-fineart/digital-fineart-collection/glossy-fineart/p/Product/show/77/301.html  ),Hahnemuehle Harman Gloss Baryta (http://harman.hahnemuehle.com/site/en/834/gloss-baryta.html ) ,Innova IFA49 ( http://www.innovaart.com/en/fibaprint-info/16.html ) all have similar texture with Ilfobrom glossy without ferrotyping.I like a bit more Harman gloss but it is very delicate and can be scratched very easily .

I would try Harman Gloss Baryta, it is available in bright and warmtone. I have never tried the paper with dye inks, so I don't know how well they would work, but Harman provides a profile for the Canon Pro 100, so I would presume it works on=k. In some markets it may still be sold as Harman Gloss FB Al.

Harman and Ilford Photo (UK) are one and the same.
