Title: Hahnemuhle vs Ilford Matt/ Pearl Papers - Gamut, Dmax etc. comparison
Post by: RajneshDomalpalli on December 25, 2022, 02:31:02 am

Greetings all,

     I'm just starting out in the wild world of printing and considering investing in a Canon Wide Format 24" 12-ink printer (ProGraf Pro-521 (https://in.canon/en/business/imageprograf-pro-521/product?category=printing&subCategory=large-format-printers)) and some Matt & Pearl Archival Fine Art paper. My Artwork is generally brightly colored and fairly varied in style - Abstract/ Illustration etc.

     Hahnemuhle is very expensive in India, so I was wondering whether Ilford was a reasonable substitute.

     Would you have a comparison / recommendation amongst the following papers:

• Hahnemuhle's Torchon Watercolor
• Hahnemuhle's Photo Rag Bright White
• Ilford Matt Cotton Medina
• Ilford Gold Fiber Pearl
• Ilford Gold Fiber Rag

     Thanks in advance.
