Troubleshooting
Colors look washed out or inaccurate.
Ensure you have selected the correct paper profile in your print dialogue settings corresponding to the specific sample sheet being used.
The printer is failing to feed the paper.
Check if the paper is correctly aligned in the tray and ensure the printer settings are set to the appropriate thickness or 'heavyweight' media setting.
Ink is smearing on the print.
Verify the drying time settings in your printer software and ensure you are using the correct print side of the paper.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your sample pack, ensure your printer driver settings are configured to match the specific media type for each sheet. Because Hahnemühle produces varied surfaces, selecting the correct ICC profile for the specific paper type in your printing software is critical for color accuracy. Store the samples in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent yellowing. When loading sheets, handle them by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin onto the printable surface.
