PermaJet Smooth Pearl 280gsm

PermaJet Smooth Pearl 280 is a premium resin-coated inkjet photo paper with a refined pearl finish and a slightly warm, natural white base. Designed to reproduce smooth skin tones, deep blacks and a wide tonal range, it is particularly well suited to portraiture, landscapes, monochrome photography and fine art reproduction. Its understated pearl surface gives prints a luxurious photographic feel without the stronger reflections of traditional gloss papers.

Why We Like It

The slightly warm base is what really sets Smooth Pearl 280 apart. Rather than the very bright white used by many modern photo papers, its more natural tone is particularly flattering for skin and works beautifully with landscapes, historic photographs and images where you want a slightly softer, more traditional character.

The smooth pearl surface is another strong point. It gives colour plenty of richness and depth while keeping reflections under control, and the excellent Dmax allows blacks to remain deep and convincing. That combination makes it equally useful for colour and monochrome work. It is also a particularly good option for photographers who remember and liked the character of the original Ilford Smooth Pearl.

Richard E. ★★★★★

I’ve been using this 44-inch roll for large panoramic prints and the smooth pearl surface handles deep blacks without any bronzing. The paper feeds evenly through my printer even on long runs, which saves me from constant adjustments.

Harper ★★★★★

The pearl finish on this 280gsm paper gives my prints a subtle sheen without any glare, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Cut lengths from the 44-inch roll have stayed perfectly flat as they feed through my printer.

Matthew ★★★★★

Rolled out a full 44-inch panoramic print and the 280gsm weight handled the whole length without curling at the edges. The pearl surface catches light subtly, which made the warm white base really pop in my landscape shots. Slightly pricier than my usual roll, but the coating's evenness is worth it.
