Ilford TW Echizen Smooth 90 A3+ 329x483mm 10SHEETS

Ilford TW Echizen Smooth 90 A3+ 329x483mm 10SHEETS | A3+ sheets for photo printing

A larger sheet gives your photograph room to read as a considered print, rather than just an image on a screen. Ilford TW Echizen Smooth 90 is photo paper in A3+ size, measuring 329 x 483mm, supplied as a pack of 10 sheets. It suits photographers who want to make larger prints at home or prepare images for display, and anyone who needs a small pack for a particular project. The name identifies it as the Smooth version of Ilford’s TW Echizen paper; the title doesn’t tell us more about how it will render colour or detail, so I won’t promise a particular look. What you can plan around is the generous sheet size and the limited pack quantity. That makes it straightforward to set aside paper for a handful of selected photographs, rather than buying a large supply before you know what you want to print.

Planning your print

Before you print, decide how the photograph should sit on the page. A file’s proportions may not match the paper, so check the crop in your print settings and choose whether to trim the image or leave space around it. That small decision can change how a portrait, landscape or graphic feels once it’s on paper. If you’re preparing several images, look at them together first and settle on a consistent layout; it’s easier to spot an awkward crop on screen than after a sheet has gone through the printer.

Because this pack contains 10 sheets, it’s sensible to use a test print when you’re adjusting an image or layout. Review the framing before committing the remaining sheets to a final run. The paper’s name gives you its format and Smooth designation, but your printer and print settings determine what options are available in practice. Select the paper size in your printing workflow and make sure the image is positioned as you intend. That’s a simple bit of preparation, but it helps avoid wasting a sheet on a crop you didn’t mean to make.
