Hi all,
I've got a Canon i9950 printer and I thought I would try the Ilford Classic
Pearl paper seeing as Ilford bother to make profiles for their paper and your
printer and it's a fair bit cheaper than the Canon Photo Paper Pro yet still has
good print longevity claims.
Pity the ink pools (coalesces) regardless of the paper type setting in the
printer driver, effectively reducing the print resolution to nothing near the
4800x2400 dpi that this printer is capable of.
I spoke to Ilford and they claim they can't test every printer so it's
unfortunate that the best results aren't atainable with this printer & paper
combination.
Pesonally I don't think they should mention a printer on the box if they haven't
tested it and confirmed that there will be no problems. In Australia there is
actually a law that covers this in our Trade Practices Act. Wording to the
effect of not of merchantable quality, and doesn't perform as advertised.
Basically this paper doesn't work with this printer so don't say it does.
Looks like I'll have to stick with the rather expensive Canon Photo Paper Pro
which is a real shame because I've been happy with the Ilford paper in the past
in an Epson Photo 700.
