Sometimes the humblest of products can be exciting.
Witness the two new boxes of paper from Ilford - we received supplies of double-sided matte paper this last week:
1. Ilford Galerie Prestige Fine Art Smooth.
A4 size and 220 gsm. Smooth bright white on both sides. boxes of 25 with the gold label. Appropriate profile in the Ilford website.
2. Ilford Galerie Prestige Fine Art Textured.
Again A4 size and 220gsm. This one has textured bright white on both sides. and again there is an appropriate profile for it.
Ilford media is the standard of he industry for many applications - this matte paper and Epson, Canon, or HP inks and printers wold make very good art book and presentation material.
Of course there is always the extra concentration one needs when making anything double-sided - you need to be careful with borders and spacing and remember to get your orientation right before you push the 'print' button. I have made a number of errors in all these things over the time and it does teach you eventually - at a price.
In any case, these are not punishingly expensive papers - you can experiment and delight yourself.
