Product Information
Full details
The Hahnemuehle Sample Pack Glossy FineArt is designed for professional photographers, digital artists, and print enthusiasts looking to achieve museum-quality results on inkjet printers. By providing a curated collection of eight different glossy and luster finishes, it allows users to test the interaction between their images and high-end media before committing to a full box. A notable caveat is that this pack provides only two sheets per media type, making it strictly a testing and evaluation tool rather than a solution for large-scale production runs.

FAQs
Can I use these papers with a standard office inkjet printer?
While technically possible, these papers are designed for high-end pigment-based photo printers to achieve professional results.
Does this pack include instructions on how to select the right paper?
The pack provides the media, but it is recommended to review the Hahnemuehle website's guide on paper characteristics to understand which finish suits your artwork.
Are these papers archival?
Yes, Hahnemuehle FineArt papers are acid-free and designed to meet high standards for age resistance and archival longevity.
Can I get more sheets of a specific type if I like it?
Yes, once you identify your preference from the sample pack, you can purchase standard full-sized boxes of that specific media.
Is the paper compatible with both dye and pigment inks?
These papers are optimized primarily for professional pigment ink systems, though they generally perform well with high-quality dye inks as well.
Troubleshooting
Paper jams during loading
Ensure the paper is fed through the rear manual feed tray and verify that the printer settings match the weight of the FineArt media.
Colors appear dull or inaccurate
Verify that you are using the correct ICC profile for the specific paper type and that your software's color management settings are set to 'Printer Manages Color' or 'Photoshop Manages Color' accordingly.
Ink smearing after printing
Allow the print sufficient drying time; some FineArt coatings require longer to set fully, especially when high ink density is used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, ensure your printer driver is configured to the correct media type matching the specific sheet you are testing. You can download the corresponding ICC profiles from the official Hahnemuehle website for your specific printer model. To maintain the integrity of these fine art papers, handle them by the edges only to prevent skin oils from affecting the coating. Store the sheets in their original packaging in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. When loading into your printer, use the rear manual feed slot if available, as the thickness of these FineArt papers can occasionally cause feeding issues in standard cassette trays.
