Is Ilford Gallery fixed grade paper being phased out or discontinued?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : B&W Photo - Printing & Finishing : One Thread

I needed to order some more Gallery paper and discovered that the B&H site only lists a few surfaces and grades in 11x14.

Sorry I don't have an answer...but it is ironic that Ilford is calling their new line of inkjet paper Galerie now isn't it??...talk about the old switcheroo.....

Considering the management style of International Paper (owners of Ilford), it won't surprise me.

and see my Sept. 16, 2001 post concerning continued availability of Galerie.

Try Freestyle Sales. They have Arista Classic which I believe is Galerie under a different name.I have tried it & can see no difference.

Roger, if I'm not mistaken, Ilford is not any longer owned by International Paper.

True, International Paper sold Ilford back to the management, funded by a UK based venture capital group

Ilford has updated many of its black and white Fact Sheets in the last few months. They're on the Web site:

and Ilfobrom Galerie FB is now included!
