Hi, my local camera shop had a close-out on sample packs of ilford inkjet paper. I bought a handful. One of the sheets looks very interesting: Smooth High Gloss Media 235gsm.

I think this paper was discontinued quite a while ago before my Pro9000II even existed. And I only have one sheet so I can't make a custom profile for it. (Ilford's website seems to be down if there were any profiles for it. Did they go out of business?) I'm curious to try this paper. What setting would you suggest to get the most out of it? Thanks.

View it side by side to other glossy papers for which you have profiles, and pick the one that most closely resembles it in surface colour, and use the profile for that one instead.

If you have one sheet only the only way is to guess a profile from the ones you have tried by paper comparison.
