FAQs
Is this paper archival?
Yes, it is designed for archival-grade output, ensuring high resistance to aging.
Does this paper have an optical brightener content?
Hahnemuhle German Etching is known for its natural warm white tone, generally produced without the heavy use of optical brighteners.
Can I use this for double-sided printing?
This paper is designed as a single-sided fine art media. Printing on the reverse side is not recommended for professional results.
What is the best way to store prints on this paper?
Store in archival-grade sleeves or boxes in a cool, dry environment with stable humidity levels.
Do I need to change my printer settings for 310gsm?
Yes, selecting the 'Fine Art' or 'Heavy Matte' setting is critical to prevent paper jams and ensure proper drying times.
Troubleshooting
Prints appear to have blurred details
Check your media settings in the print driver; ensure the paper type is set to heavy fine art to increase the platen gap.
Ink smudging during printing
The paper is likely too thick for your printer's auto-feed path; use the rear manual feed slot to ensure a straight paper path.
Colors look washed out
Install the correct ICC profile for your specific printer and paper combination to properly manage ink laydown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal results, ensure your printer driver is set to the correct media type, typically labeled as 'Fine Art' or 'Heavyweight Matte Paper.' Always download the specific ICC profile from the Hahnemuhle website for your printer model to ensure accurate color management. When handling, always hold the paper by the edges to prevent oils from your skin from marking the matte surface. For long-term storage, keep prints in an acid-free environment, away from direct UV exposure, and ensure all prints are completely dry before stacking or framing.
