Hi Nick,
I have also just started using Ilford Gallerie Classic Pearl on my HP 
7660. I prefer the look of it to the HP paper. Pity about the 
longevity as it would be nice to use that paper for exhibition prints 
as it has the look of gelatin silver(even though it's a RC paper), 
especially under glass. 

I am wondering if you can tell me what driver settings you are using 
as I an experimenting somewhat to see what gives the best result. So 
far I have found thst using "HP Premium Plus Photo Paper Matte" as 
the paper type, and printing at max dpi gives me a very nice print.
It's always interesting to hear what users are doing.

Regards,
Paul.
