Q: 1. How does this surface compare with Ilford Gold Fiber Silk?Thanks

A: Both surfaces are similar in sheen and texture. The Metallic Satin paper yields the kind of stunning results that previously could only be achieved in the darkroom. Featuring a high-gloss surface thats compatible with dye-based and pigment-based inks, Metallic Satin creates prints that are sharp, vibrant, and exceptionally rich looking, The Gold Fiber Silk will yield slightly less vibrant results.

Q: 5. I use to buy this paper but the company started shrink wrapping it so tight that the paper would bow after several attempts at discussing the issue with the manufacturer I gave up. It has been two years and I am wondering if the paper is still overly shrink wrapped, that the paper is bowed and stays that way?

A: Yes, it is still shrink wrapped, but it seems hit or miss whether it's too tight or not. The first thing I do when I get it is take the plastic off completely. It seems to relax eventually, or you can put it flat and set something heavy on it...?

Q: 6. Where can I find an ICC profile for this paper? I cannot find it on the manufacturer's website. I have an Epson SureColor P800.

A: I get really good results when I choose Epson Ultra Premium Presentation Matte (with my Epson Artisan 1430). I haven't found a need for an ICC profile.

Q: 10. I noticed in the reviews someone mentioned they used this for greeting cards- is it double sided? I'm having a hard time finding a metallic/pearl double sided 5x7 stock.

A: No, it is not double sided. And we do not have any other brands that are double sided in a metallic surface.The person in the review might of printed text on the other side but it is a trial and error method. It is not coated so the ink might not stick on that side and can on many printers smear.
