Ilford has launched Galerie Gold Fibre Silk, a 310gsm inkjet media composed of a traditional barium sulphate (baryta) base. The baryta enhances the media surface which produces the creamy whites and velvety blacks that form part of the unique look and feel of a true fibre print; the standard amongst art photographers worldwide. The media also produces high definition images with an extended tonal range, making it ideal for images ranging from vivid colour to black and whites.
Galerie Gold includes a backing layer which helps to prevent curl on the final image. To ensure maximum longevity of the image, no unnecessary additives are included.
“The optimum combination of the base and the coating, together with the media's excellent archival properties makes Ilford Galerie Gold the perfect complement to the Ilford GALERIE Smooth and Classic ranges,” said Andrew Stewart, Sales and Marketing Director, Ilford Imaging Switzerland GmbH. “When used with pigment ink printers, such as Epson and Canon desktop or wide format models, the results are simply stunning.”
Just as traditional silver halide photographs demonstrate, extreme emotions can be captured in an image through warm or cold tones. These same results can be produced digitally, and Ilford has created specific recommendations on using filter factors to create 'digital toning'. Ranging from standard black and white, warm tone, cool tone and sepia to gold, selenium and blue, the only limit is the photographer's imagination. These filter factors together with custom ICC profiles are available for free on the website: www.ilford.com/
