Hi Phillip,
I think you'll find that Canson Baryta Photographique to be a twin to the Ilford Gallerie Gold Fiber Silk, with minor differences, if any, being attributed to the old and continued IGFS. I tend to favor Canson as they shy away from OBAs in their fine art paper offerings. Paper selection is largely subjective and I found that I liked Hahnemuhle's Photo Rag Baryta better, and Canson Platine Fiber Rag a step up and better yet. Again, there is a degree of personal taste involved here, especially when selecting the best paper for a particular subject matter.
I don't normally stock IGFS, but it is also a popular enough or rather similar enough paper to others that it is not a problem for me to stock if you have your heart set on IGFS. There are many fine art papers that I have in stock and are available but are not listed on my website mostly to keep things simple. These types of papers are general offerings on my 9900 printer and they are excellent.
For K7 B&W Piezography, I find myself gravitating towards Cone 5 for MPS gloss, as this paper most reminds me of a B&W fiber print. For K7 B&W matte, I favor either Cone 2 or Canson Rag Photographique. Here the feel of the paper is part of the experience as well.
PM sent.
