Full details

FAQs

Is this paper double-sided?

No, this is a single-sided paper optimized for high-quality fine art printing on the coated side.

Can I use this with pigment and dye inks?

The paper is designed for professional ink-jet printers and works best with pigment inks, though it is compatible with many high-quality dye ink systems.

What is the best way to store finished prints?

Store in acid-free sleeves or frames behind UV-protected glass to maintain the archival integrity of the cotton base.

Does this paper have optical brighteners?

Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Pearl is designed for a natural white appearance, which generally involves minimal use of optical brighteners to ensure archival stability.

Will this paper fit in a standard document feeder?

Due to its 320gsm thickness, it should not be used in automatic document feeders (ADF); always use a dedicated manual feed slot.

Troubleshooting

Printer paper jam during loading

Ensure you are using the rear manual feed tray for thick media and check that the paper guides are not pressed too tightly against the sheet.

Colors appear dull or inaccurate

Ensure you have installed and selected the correct ICC profile for the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Pearl in your print dialog box settings.

Surface scuffing during handling

Always handle sheets by the corners using cotton gloves or clean, dry hands to protect the delicate pearlescent coating.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior archival properties for long-term display
  • Excellent tonal range in both color and monochrome
  • Sophisticated pearlescent surface finish
  • High-quality 100% cotton fiber construction

Cons

  • High basis weight may not be compatible with all home printers
  • Requires careful handling to avoid surface scuffs
  • Higher price point compared to standard photo papers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your printer driver is set to the correct media type, usually labeled as 'Fine Art' or 'Heavyweight Matte' depending on your specific printer software. It is recommended to download and use the official Hahnemuhle ICC profiles for your specific printer model to ensure color accuracy. Handle the sheets by the edges to prevent skin oils from affecting the coating. For storage, keep the paper in its original box in a cool, dry place. Once printed, allow the ink to fully cure for 24 hours before framing or stacking prints.
