Title: Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth High Gloss
Post by: Algy on March 26, 2014, 04:59:04 am
Hi there,

I thought I had just found the perfect paper for my folio prints lightweight and hi gloss (Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth High Gloss 215gsm), of course Ilford seems to have moved into receivership.

I bought a load of this paper online and now cannot download their own printer profile.  :-[

I was wondering if anyone might have the ICC profile for an Epson 7880 printer and this paper type? Alternativley if anyone could recommend someone else's profile for a similar paper???

Many thanks. Algy B

Well, Ilford is no more… The employees have left and the buildings are now used to house other companies. The website is still up but downloads are impossible.

Some websites offer profiles for Ilford papers like this (http://graphicarts.com.au/resources/icc-profiles/download-profiles) one. Try to search.

You could also order a custom profile.

With an identical spectral plot in SpectrumViz, the same weight and the same surface finish, it is quite certain the same quality film that BonJet sells and you can try Bonjet's ICC profile for that film:

Bottom page gives the ICC link.
