FAQs

What is the difference between Photo Rag and Photo Rag Bright White?

Photo Rag Bright White has a noticeably brighter white base compared to the standard Photo Rag, which has a slightly warmer, more natural white tone. This impacts the perceived contrast and vibrancy of prints.

Is this paper suitable for professional art prints?

Yes, the Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright 310gsm is specifically designed for fine art photography and art reproductions due to its high quality, archival properties, and excellent print results.

How should I store unused sheets?

Store unused sheets flat in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to maintain their condition.

Can I use this paper with a pigment or dye-based printer?

Yes, this paper is compatible with both pigment and dye-based inkjet inks. Pigment inks generally offer better archival qualities.

What does '310gsm' mean?

GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. 310gsm is a measure of the paper's weight and thickness, indicating a substantial, high-quality paper stock.

How long will prints last on this paper?

When stored properly and using pigment inks, prints on this archival-quality, acid-free paper are expected to last for many decades, often exceeding 100 years.

Can I use this paper for everyday printing?

While it produces excellent quality, its premium nature and cost make it more suitable for significant artworks, photographs, and presentations rather than everyday documents.

Troubleshooting

Paper jamming in the printer

Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and not over-filled. Check that the printer's paper guides are set appropriately for the A3+ size. Try printing one sheet at a time.

Colors not as expected

Verify that the correct ICC profile is selected in your printing software. Ensure your monitor is calibrated. Print a test strip before committing to a full print.

Ink smudging or bleeding

Allow prints to dry completely before handling. Check that you are using appropriate ink types for inkjet papers and that the printer settings are optimized for photo paper.

Wavy or curled paper after printing

This can sometimes occur with heavier papers and high ink coverage. Ensure the paper is stored flat and try printing in a lower humidity environment. If possible, use the printer's rear output tray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional print quality with vibrant colors and sharp details.
  • Substantial 310gsm weight gives prints a luxurious feel.
  • Bright white surface maximizes color contrast and brilliance.
  • Acid-free and lignin-free for archival longevity.
  • Versatile for both photography and fine art reproduction.

Cons

  • The bright white nature might not be suitable for users preferring a warmer paper tone.
  • Higher price point typical of premium fine art papers.
  • Matt finish may not be ideal for high-gloss effects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your printer is compatible with heavier paper weights (310gsm). Load the paper into the manual feed tray or the recommended paper path for thicker media, following your printer's specific instructions.

Compatibility: This paper is compatible with all standard inkjet printers, including pigment and dye-based inks. For best results, use ICC profiles provided by Hahnemühle or your printer manufacturer.

Care: Handle prints with clean, lint-free gloves to avoid fingerprints. Store prints in archival-quality sleeves or frames away from direct sunlight, humidity, and temperature fluctuations to ensure longevity. Avoid touching the printed surface.
