Troubleshooting
Ink pooling or smearing on the paper surface
Check your printer media settings to ensure the 'Heavyweight' or 'Fine Art' paper type is selected to manage the ink limit correctly.
Colors appearing muted or inaccurate
Ensure that you are using the correct ICC profile for the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Satin and that color management in your software is set to 'Printer Manages Colors' or 'Application Manages Colors' accordingly.
Paper edges curling after printing
Allow the print to dry flat in a cool, low-humidity environment for at least 24 hours before framing or stacking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal results, always download the official ICC profile from the Hahnemuhle website for your specific printer model. When loading the 17-inch roll, ensure the tension is set correctly to avoid wrinkling. Due to the fine art nature of this paper, it is highly recommended to wear cotton archival gloves when handling prints to prevent skin oils from affecting the matte surface or the satin sheen. Store rolls in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the coating.
