Did Harman quit making inkjet paper? I recall they made some under first the 
Ilford name and then under the Harman name.

Dan,

Ilford Galerie inkjet papers are made by a Swiss Firm, and Ilford film & wet 
printing paper is made by a separate UK company, Harman Technologies.  There 
is no connection between the two. Both make good products though.
