Ilford Galerie Textured Cotton Rag 310gsm A3 (25 vel)

I’ve been testing this paper with my monochrome prints and the ink absorption is incredibly even, no pooling at all. The 310gsm weight gives it a museum-quality feel that really elevates my portfolio.

The texture on this rag paper really makes the blacks pop in my monochrome prints. I was surprised how evenly the ink absorbed without any bleeding into the fibers. A solid choice for getting that gallery-quality finish at home.

The cotton rag texture gives my black-and-white prints a depth that glossy paper just can’t match, and at 310gsm it feels substantial without curling. The fourdrinier manufacturing clearly pays off in how evenly the ink absorbs across the sheet. These have become my go-to for gallery submissions.
