FAQs

What type of inks is this paper compatible with?

The Hahnemühle Photo Luster 260 paper is compatible with inkjet systems that use both pigmented and dye inks.

What is the finish type of this paper?

The paper has a Lustre finish, which is a semi-glossy surface that offers a balance between gloss and a reduced level of reflectivity compared to a full gloss paper.

Can I use this paper with a laser printer?

No, this paper is specifically designed for inkjet printers and will not work with laser printers.

How many sheets are in a pack?

Each pack contains 25 sheets of A3+ sized paper.

What does '260 g/m²' refer to?

This indicates the media weight of the paper, meaning it is 260 grams per square meter, signifying a relatively thick and sturdy paper stock.

How should I store unused paper?

Store unused paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its quality.

Is this paper suitable for archival purposes?

While the paper offers good quality for daily use and photo printing, for long-term archival purposes, it's recommended to use papers specifically marketed for archival permanence and store prints in controlled environments.

Troubleshooting

Prints appear dull or colors are muted

Ensure the correct paper type is selected in your printer driver settings. Try increasing print quality settings or color saturation in your print software. Verify you are using compatible pigmented or dye inks.

Ink smudging or slow drying time

Allow prints adequate drying time before touching them. Reduce the amount of ink being laid down by selecting a lower print quality setting or using the printer's 'heavyweight' paper setting. Ensure ink saturation is not set too high in the print driver.

Paper jams in the printer

Check that the paper is loaded correctly and not overfilled in the paper tray. Ensure the paper is not curled or damaged. Fan the paper stack before loading to prevent sheets from sticking together.

Inconsistent print results across sheets

Check for dust or debris on the printer's rollers or print head. Try printing a test image on multiple sheets to see if the issue persists, which might indicate a batch problem or printer maintenance need.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

No specific setup is required beyond loading the paper into your inkjet printer according to the printer manufacturer's instructions. Ensure your printer's paper type settings are adjusted to match the paper's characteristics (e.g., 'Glossy', 'Photo Paper', or a specific setting if available for Hahnemühle papers) for optimal ink delivery and drying.

Compatibility:

This paper is designed for inkjet printers that use either pigmented or dye-based inks. It is not compatible with laser printers or other printing technologies.

Care:

  • Store unused paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to prevent yellowing or damage.
  • Handle prints with clean hands or cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints and smudges on the glossy surface.
  • Allow prints to dry completely after printing, as recommended by your printer manufacturer, before stacking or handling.
  • Avoid exposing finished prints to direct sunlight or high humidity for extended periods to preserve color longevity.
