Q: 1. Hello , What is this material core size ?

A: This has a 3 inch core.

Q: 2. In anticipation of receiving this paper (I just ordered it), I went to Ilford's website to download the icc profile for my Canon ipf6400 printer (the description says "The paper is compatible with both dye and pigment based ink systems..." When I select the paper on Ilford's website and put in my printer and this paper combination there's no profile associated for this printer / paper combo. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

A: They may not have made a profile for the Canon IPF6400 printer. So in that case I would suggest using the closest Canon option. Canon Premium Fine Art Smooth.

Q: 3. Can I use this paper with an Epson R3000 printer? Seems to be too thick. Thanks.

A: Yes. The Ilford GALERIE Gold Fibre Gloss Paper (5 x 7", 50 Sheets) is compatible with the Epson R3000 printer.

Q: 4. HP Q5450A Premium Plus Photo paper 8.5x11 Soft-gloss. Where? I've used this paper for years, buying 1000 sheets at a time. Made in Switzerland 2010. Textured back, Non Fade for years later. Now the last batch of 500 sheets was made in Germany, does not lay flat, slightly cupped, no textured back, serious fading in 1-2 months. I'm ready to buy 1000 more if I can find the right paper. Thanks...

A: Unfortunately HP has discontinued this model of paper. We are unable to offer any other information at this time. You can try contacting HP directly.

Q: 5. Do yo know if there is a two sided version of the HP Premium Plus Photo paper soft gloss for inkjet printers?

A: No the paper only comes single-sided.

Q: 6. What's the life of the images printed?

A: Unfortunately there isn't a specific answer, it depends on how the prints are stored, humidity, light and other factors. But in optimal conditions it would last for years.

Q: 7. Is this new paper the replacement of the now discontinued smooth super high gloss ? Does it have same characteristics or is it entirely new ?

A: Glossy inkjet is a type of paper that shines by nature. When light falls on such paper it is either reflected parallelly or at an angle. With metallic paper a sheet of mylar is kept between the printing paper and the emulsion. So there's no real comparison. Metallic is far superior for a 3D look. That being said Gloss doesn't change the image effect as does metallic and the colors can be a bit more accurate.

Q: 8. Is the paper acid fast paper?

A: Ilford Galerie Prestige Smooth Gloss Paper is not a "fine art" paper so it is not acid free.

Q: 9. Is this the right paper for my Epson R2880 and XP 800

A: Yes it is compatible with your 2 Epson printers.

Q: 10. Will the Canon G7020 be able to handle this papers thickness of 13mils?

A: No, the Canon PIXMA G7020 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One Printer is only rated up to 200 gsm, and the Ilford GALERIE Heavyweight Duo Matt Paper (8.5 x 11", 50 Sheets) is 310 gsm. So regardless of thickness, the weight itself won't work.
