Ilford Elite 260GSM Gloss A3+ 25

Ilford Elite 260GSM Gloss A3+ 25 | Glossy photo prints in a larger format

For photo prints that need more room on the page, Ilford Elite 260GSM Gloss A3+ 25 gives you glossy photo paper in an A3+ format. It’s aimed at photographers who want to print images at home or in a studio and prefer a gloss finish. The 260gsm weight gives you a specific paper weight to work with, while the A3+ size suits prints where a smaller page would feel restrictive. The pack quantity is 25, handy when you have a short run of images in mind rather than a large stack of paper. Gloss is a clear choice when you want the paper surface itself to have a sheen; it won’t suit every image or taste. If you’re choosing paper for a particular print, think about the image, the size you want and whether a glossy surface fits the look you’re after.

Choosing the format and finish

A3+ offers more space for a photograph than smaller print formats, so it gives you room to make an image a more prominent part of a display or portfolio. The larger sheet also makes the printed image itself more noticeable, so it’s worth deciding how you intend to present it before printing a full set. With 25 sheets in the product name, this pack is suited to a defined batch of prints; you can plan around that quantity when selecting which images to put on paper.

The gloss finish is the other part of the decision. It gives the sheet a shiny surface, which is a distinct look rather than a neutral, matte presentation. Choose it when that surface suits the image and how you want the print to be seen. The product title identifies the paper as 260gsm, A3+ and glossy; those are the details to compare when selecting photo paper for a particular print job. There’s no need to dress it up: this is a straightforward option for making larger glossy photo prints in a 25-pack.
