ILFORD has announced the release of new 13" and 17" wide printers in the ILFORD GALERIE range
With the ILFORD GALERIE range, specifically designed for professionals, the company has developed a product line that incorporates industry changes and printing advancements. The arrival in the marketplace of the latest range of 13" and 17" wide printers such as the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 (17"), a pigment based printer, the Canon Pro 9000 (13") and the HP8750 (13"), both dye based printers, have encouraged photographers and design professionals to look for a photo media that not only works with pigment inks but is also compatible with the latest dye technology.
ILFORD paid close attention to what the professionals were demanding and consequently produced its acclaimed GALERIE Smooth Gloss and Smooth Pearl in 13" x 19" and 17" x 22" sheets and 17" rolls, GALERIE Smooth High Gloss in 13" x 19" sheets and 17" rolls and its GALERIE Smooth Heavyweight Matt in 13" x 19" and 17" x 22" sheets only.
Wedding photographers have delighted in the results the ILFORD GALERIE Smooth High Gloss produced on the Canon Pro 9000, comparing it to a traditional ILFOCHROME image. Art and graphic designers appreciated the fact that they could now produce their own in-house storyboards or true size mock-ups without having to outsource their work to photo studios or laboratories.
Furthermore, ILFORD has made available some 1300 ICC profiles on its website. As a new printer arrives on the market, ILFORD ensures a corresponding profile is added. Simply select the printer and the GALERIE media in use and then download the profile from the ILFORD website, www.ilford.com. The results are consistently impressive regardless of the printer.
This product range is currently available from WYNIT throughout the USA, and from Sunrise MPC throughout Canada.
