Ilford Galerie Smooth Cotton Rag 5x7 (50張) 310g/m²

These 5x7 sheets handle multiple passes of ink without any bleeding or cockling, which is essential for my gallery prints. The subtle texture of the cotton rag surface gives my black and white work a beautiful, archival feel.

The 310 gsm weight gives these sheets a luxurious, sturdy feel that handles heavy ink loads without any buckling. I’ve been testing different papers for my fine art prints, and the smooth cotton surface makes blacks look incredibly deep and rich.

Five by seven is a perfect size for my smaller prints, and the subtle texture of the cotton rag brings out real depth in black-and-white shadows. The paper takes ink evenly without any pooling, which makes a huge difference on fine detail.
