I am new to inkjet printing but have entered into it with an open mind. All my experience of printing is darkroom based and with no room in my present residence for a full darkroom, my beloved Kaiser enlarger is mothballed. A few weeks of internet searching and I ended up with a very useful Canon Pixma 7250 printer and two types of Ilford paper. My conclusion after a first week of printing is that paper choice is THE most important variable... No great surprise here as the same applies in darkroom work. I used Ilford multigrade warmtone pearl in the darkroom and Galerie prestige smooth pearl has rapidly become my favorite in inkjet printing. I have to admit that the Inkjet prints look mighty similar to the ones I made with Multigrade and I am very happy with my output from scanned Tri-x negs..
