I purchased this paper in 4x6, 5x7, & 8.5x11, so this review applies to all sizes. The past 5 years or so, I used Canon glossy II paper. I happened upon the Ilford on Amazon and was surprised at the price. I''m well familiar with the Ilford brand. I have friends who are professional commercial photographers and they used it exclusively since pre digital photography. So it''s no "off brand".

This is really nice paper. Beautiful, saturated colors, and great contrast. The pearl premium paper has a really nice smooth feel to it and is a matte type finish. The premium glossy, in my eyes opinion, produces prints equal to the canon glossyII. As far as fading only time will tell. But all framed prints should have UV glass to minimize fading. It''s unlikely that it will be in most store bought frames, unless is states so on the frame. The UV glass can be purchased cut to size at any frame shop.

Getting back to the paper. Pearl finish or gloss: it''s a matter of personal preference. I got both, and haven''t picked a favorite. Some images I may decide look better with one or the other. But it''s surely inexpensive enough to experiment with. Anyway, I think that it great paper and I''ll continue to buy it. Amazon had the premium pearl in 4x6 & 8.5x11 and the premium gloss in 4x6, 5x7, & 8.5x11 through seller Unique Photo. I purchased all 5 that were available. It is great paper at a great price and I Highly recommend it.

Recently purchased Ilford''s 4x6 premium Photo Glossy Paper. I use both a HP psc 2210 as well as a Canon ip 1800 printers and the results this paper provides are extrordinary. Granted these are small prints but the high resolution draws your attention right into the photo. The high gloss also adds a touch of class, too. Highly recommend this product especially to those doing scrapbook photos as well as any other uses.
