Full details
The Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Baryta 24-inch roll is a premium choice for professional photographers and fine art printers who demand gallery-quality output for portraits and detailed imagery. Its primary benefit is the exquisite combination of a 100% cotton base with a traditional baryta gloss finish, providing deep blacks and high-definition color depth that mimics classic darkroom prints; however, users should be aware that its unique coating requires careful handling and specialized ICC profiles for optimal results.

FAQs
Is this paper archival?

Can I use this with dye-based inks?
It is primarily optimized for pigment-based inkjet printers, which offer better longevity and compatibility with this specific coating.
Does the paper curl easily?
As a heavy cotton paper, it can develop a slight curl if stored in low-humidity environments; unroll it carefully and allow it to flatten before framing.
How should I store unprinted rolls?
Store in the original box at a stable temperature between 15-30 degrees Celsius and 40-60% relative humidity.
What is the weight of this paper?

Troubleshooting
Banding or ink pooling
Increase the 'Platen Gap' or 'Head Height' settings in your printer driver to accommodate the thickness of the cotton paper.
Colors appear dull or inaccurate
Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for your specific printer and ink set, and disable color management within the printer driver itself.
Paper feed issues
Gently fan the leading edge and ensure the roll is properly seated on the spindles to maintain consistent tension.
