Alpha, just thought I'd let you know that I just got my ordered box of Ilford Galerie Classic Pearl and printed my first. WOW!!! They are beautiful. My only complaint--so far---they do curl. However, when I'm sure its dry, I will put it in archival sleeve and it will flatten out. You recommended it--and a pro on another forum who knows I do a lot of B/W recommended it for that (in duotones). Haven't tried that yet---but I'm impressed LOL. Cheers, Diane
