Product Information

Full details

Hahnemuhle German Etching is an archival-grade, 310gsm inkjet paper designed for professional photographers, fine art printers, and digital artists who demand museum-quality reproduction for original prints. It offers a distinct, velvety matte texture and a warm white tone that mimics traditional artist boards, though users should note that the heavy texture requires careful handling during printer transport and is limited to single-sided printing.

FAQs

Is this paper double-sided?

No, Hahnemuhle German Etching is optimized for printing on one side only.

Can I use this with my desktop office printer?

It is intended for professional high-end inkjet printers; standard office printers may struggle with the thickness and result in paper jams.

Does this paper contain OBA (Optical Brightening Agents)?

German Etching is a natural white paper, designed to have an age-resistant, neutral look without harsh chemical brighteners.

How should I store finished prints?

Store in a cool, dry, acid-free environment, preferably in an archival sleeve or framed behind UV-protective glass.

Do I need special ink to print on this?

It works with standard inkjet inks, but pigment-based inks provide the best results for longevity and color stability.

Troubleshooting

Print head strikes or ink smears on the edges

Increase the platen gap setting in your printer's paper configuration menu to account for the heavy 310gsm thickness.

Colors appear dull or lack contrast

Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for Hahnemuhle German Etching specifically designed for your printer model.

The paper is not feeding correctly

Verify that you are using the manual feed or rear-loading slot rather than the standard multi-sheet cassette.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent archival properties for long-term display
  • Sophisticated tactile finish similar to traditional etchings
  • High-weight stock provides a professional "gallery" feel
  • Warm white tone prevents harsh contrasts
  • Exceptional ink density and detail reproduction

Cons

  • Single-sided printing only
  • Higher thickness may require specific printer feed settings
  • Textured surface can be susceptible to scuffing if handled roughly
  • Premium price point compared to standard photo papers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When using Hahnemuhle German Etching, ensure your printer is set to the correct media type, typically 'Fine Art' or 'Matte Paper' in your printer's control panel. Because the paper is 310gsm, you should feed it through the rear tray or manual feed slot to avoid bending the thick material through tight internal rollers.

Compatibility: This paper is compatible with both dye and pigment-based inkjet systems, though pigment inks are recommended for maximum archival longevity.

Care: Always handle the paper by the edges to prevent skin oils from reaching the printing surface. Once printed, allow the ink to cure for at least 24 hours before framing or stacking. Store in a cool, dry place and use acid-free materials for any matting or mounting.
