Where to get Ilford galerie paper?

[icebooke]

I'm looking for the Ilford Galerie series paper. Need both the pearl and gloss versions. Unfortunately Ruby Photo is out of stock at the moment. Is there anywhere else on this island I can get it?
Thanks

I WAS desperate.. so i had to settle for the Premium photo pearl paper by Ilford, which they sell under the Printasia name.
Needed to print 40 BnW prints by this weekend. Shucks, Ruby Photo's stocks finsh real fast. Is it possible to reserve a few stacks with them before the stocks come? Anyone has done this before?
Thanks in advance.

What printer do you use to print on this paper? Kinokuniya might stock this.

Where did you get the Printasia premium and for how much?

Have only seen the budget versions around.

The printasia versions are a bit cheaper than the Galerie ones. I bought a pack of 20 Satin finish ones to try, and it cost $15.90 from PK Computer. There are other finishes like Fine Art, Premium Pearl, Silk and the ever popular Glossy as well. Most are under $20.

I just tried a shot on the Satin vs Premium Pearl. I found that I prefer the slightly darker, more shadow detail prints on the satin vs the lighter picture on the Premium Pearl. PK and South Asia has both in stock right now at around S$15.90 for 20.

Wonder if anyone will do MO soon...

My experience with Satin on an Epson Photo Stylus 890: Ink doesn't dry fast enough (even overnight it's not totally dry) and the colours tend to be redder than the other papers I've tried. Also exhibits bronzing in the black/dark areas. The finish is nice though.
