Build a set of portraits or a photographic portfolio with 100 A4 sheets of Ilford Galerie Metallic Gloss. Each sheet measures 21 x 29.7 cm and shares the glossy metallic finish for a coordinated presentation.
100 A4 sheets for a coordinated print series
Choose this larger pack for repeated prints, several designs or a series for which you also want to reserve test sheets. Test a representative image first, then keep your settings consistent. A4 is not 20 x 30 cm: check the paper size accepted by your frame or album before printing the whole series.
What does the metallic finish do?
The glossy metallic finish gives highlights and reflective subjects a distinctive appearance. Ilford identifies portraits, studio photographs, architecture and mechanical subjects as applications. Choose this finish when reflections can be part of the presentation; matt paper is an alternative for a quieter, non-reflective surface. The effect also depends on your photograph and the light in which you view the print.
Will your printer accept this paper?
This is resin-coated inkjet photo paper for aqueous dye and pigment inks. Check that your printer supports the selected sheet size and 260 gsm paper with a specified thickness of 260 µm. The correct ink type alone does not establish that the paper feed is suitable. It is not laser paper or darkroom photographic paper. The photographic coating is intended for printing on one side.
Preparing a useful test print
Start with a test containing skin tones, a bright area and dark details from your own image. Use appropriate coated glossy inkjet-paper settings and, where available, a profile for your exact printer, ink and paper combination. Check the crop in print preview: automatic fitting can remove edges. Handle sheets by their edges and follow the printer instructions for feeding and handling prints.
