FAQs

What is the main advantage of German Etching paper?

The main advantage is its unique matt, velvety surface and warm white shade, which gives prints an extraordinary tactile feel and a sophisticated, artistic depth, resembling traditional artist boards.

Is this paper suitable for all types of photos?

It is ideal for fine art photography and prints where a textured, artistic feel is desired. For very smooth, high-gloss images, a different paper type might be more appropriate.

How do I ensure my prints last a long time?

The paper is acid- and lignin-free and has a water-resistant coating, contributing to its archival quality. Proper storage and framing under UV-protective glass will further enhance longevity.

Can I use this paper with any inkjet printer?

It is compatible with most inkjet printers, but it's crucial to check your printer's specifications to ensure it can handle the heavyweight 310 gsm paper and thick media.

What does 'genuine mould-made' mean?

Mould-made refers to a traditional papermaking process that uses a mould to form the paper sheet, resulting in a more consistent and authentic texture compared to machine-made papers.

What is the finish type of this paper?

The finish type is matt, with a distinctive velvety texture.

How many sheets are in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 sheets of A3-sized paper.

Troubleshooting

Paper jams in the printer

Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and not overfilling the input tray. Check that the printer can handle 310 gsm paper. Try printing one sheet at a time.

Poor print quality (streaking, uneven ink)

Verify that the correct paper type and print quality settings are selected in the printer driver. Clean the print heads. Ensure the paper is dry and stored properly.

Color is not accurate

Use a printer profile specifically designed for Hahnemühle German Etching. If unavailable, try a generic fine art matte profile. Calibrate your monitor and printer.

Ink smudging after printing

Allow prints to dry completely for at least 24 hours before handling. Ensure the printer driver settings are appropriate for the ink absorption of this paper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tactile feel and velvety surface.
  • Archival quality ensures long-term print stability.
  • Warm white shade enhances the artistic quality of reproductions.
  • Water-resistant coating adds practical durability.
  • Suitable for both fine art and detailed photographic prints.

Cons

  • The heavy weight (310 gsm) may require specific printer settings.
  • The distinctive texture might not be suitable for all types of images where a smooth finish is preferred.
  • As a premium fine art paper, it may be more expensive than standard photo papers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

When printing with Hahnemühle German Etching, it is recommended to:

  1. Consult your printer's manual for recommended paper settings for heavy weight, fine art papers.
  2. Select the appropriate media type in your printer driver, often corresponding to 'Fine Art' or 'Matte' settings.
  3. If available, choose a profile specifically for Hahnemühle German Etching for optimal color accuracy. If not, a generic fine art matte profile may suffice.
  4. Ensure your printer's paper path can accommodate the 310 gsm weight.

Compatibility:

This paper is compatible with most inkjet printers (dye and pigment-based) that can handle heavyweight papers. Always check your printer's specifications for maximum paper weight and thickness.

Care:

  • Store the paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Handle prints by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin.
  • Display prints framed under glass or acrylic to protect them from dust and environmental contaminants.
  • The water-resistant coating provides some protection against accidental splashes, but prints should not be exposed to prolonged moisture.
