Full details

A caveat is its suitability primarily for inkjet printing, requiring compatible printers and inks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is Hahnemühle German Etching paper made of?

It is made from 100% alpha cellulose, which is a high-quality, purified wood pulp.

Is this paper suitable for archival prints?

Yes, it is an archive-grade paper made from acid-free alpha cellulose with a neutral pH, making it suitable for long-lasting prints.

Can I use this paper with any printer?

It is designed for inkjet printers (both pigment and dye inks). Ensure your printer can handle its 310 gsm weight and adjust settings accordingly.

What is the difference between German Etching and other fine art papers?

German Etching is characterized by its heavy weight, matt velvety surface, warm white shade, and a distinct, fine felt structure, offering a unique tactile and visual depth.

How should I store the paper before printing?

Store it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.

What does 'mould-made' mean?

Mould-made refers to a traditional papermaking process that uses a mould to form the paper sheet, resulting in a uniform thickness and deckled edges on some variations, contributing to its high quality and artisanal feel.

Is the surface completely smooth?

No, the surface has a fine, clearly defined felt structure, giving it a distinct texture and a tactile feel, rather than being completely smooth.

Troubleshooting

Ink bleeding or smudging

Check printer driver settings and ensure the correct paper type is selected. Allow adequate drying time between prints. Ensure the printer's ink is compatible with the paper coating.

Paper not feeding correctly

Ensure the paper is loaded correctly in the printer's paper tray, not exceeding the maximum stack height. Try printing one sheet at a time. Confirm printer settings match the media weight.

Print colors appear dull

Verify that the correct color profile is being used for the printer and paper combination. Ensure your monitor is calibrated. Check printer ink levels and quality.

Uneven ink coverage on textured areas

This can be a characteristic of the textured surface. Ensure printer settings are optimized for textured media. For critical prints, consider a test print first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: When using Hahnemühle German Etching, ensure your inkjet printer is configured to handle media of 310 gsm. You may need to adjust printer settings for 'heavyweight paper,' 'fine art paper,' or 'matte paper' to ensure proper ink absorption and drying. Always refer to your printer manufacturer's recommendations for media handling.

Compatibility: This paper is designed for pigment and dye-based inkjet printers. It is compatible with most photo printers from major manufacturers. It is not intended for offset, screen, or digital press printing.

Care: Store unused sheets in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to prevent yellowing or damage. Handle prints with clean cotton or nitrile gloves to avoid transferring oils from your skin, which can cause discoloration over time. Display prints away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
