Galerie Gold Fibre Silk is a 310gsm inkjet media featuring a
traditional barium sulphate (baryta) base. The baryta enhances the
media surface which gives the creamy whites and velvety blacks that
form part of the unique look and feel of a true fibre print; the
standard amongst art photographers worldwide. The media also produces
real high definition images with an extended tonal range, making it a
must for exhibition quality images ranging from vivid colour to
dramatic black and whites. For more information please visit the Ilford website.
