Quite some time ago, I don't remember exactly how long ago, but the data
sheet in the paper is dated 2009, I was able to secure what I thought
was a lifetime supply of Ilford Galerie 8 1/2 by 11 1/2 inch,
Professional Inkjet Glossy photo paper, at what was a very good price.
I bought a couple dozen 100 sheet boxes of the stuff. It was so
inexpensive that I couldn't buy less expensive paper for proofing.
Well today I opened the last box. Now I'm sure that there are probably
better and certainly more interesting papers available but not better
papers for the price I paid.
I'm not even sure that Ilford, (Switzerland). still exists and is still
manufacturing photo paper, haven't actually tried to find out.
I know the English photo division that was spun off because film was a
"dying" product, is still in existence, and still making B&W film and
Photo papers, but IIRC the Inkjet paper operation went through
bankruptcy a while ago.
Oh, well, it hardly matters, the whole point was the high quality, vs
very low price, as far as I was concerned.
Now I'm going to have to find a new everyday, though to be honest I
don't actually print every day, photo paper.
