This is not the Ilford Photo/Harman Technology company but the Ilford Imaging company that produced the Prestige Galerie > IGFS and the Smooth Pearl etc papers in Switzerland. In August/September there was still a bit of optimism with the management buy-out. In German describing its "Werdegang" over the years. Little optimism at the end of the article: http://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/equity/fotopapier-hersteller-am-ende-glanz-und-niedergang-von-ilford-1.18198470 A pity, the Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl is a good combination with my HP Z3200 gloss inks. I have not seen a clone of that paper. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla http://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm December 2012: 500+ inkjet media paper white spectral plots.
