FAQs
Is this paper compatible with dye-based inks?
Yes, German Etching is compatible with both dye and pigment-based inkjet systems.
Does this paper contain optical brighteners?
Hahnemühle German Etching is designed to be archival and acid-free, providing a natural white tone without excessive optical brighteners.
Can I print on both sides?
This paper is designed as a single-sided medium; the back side is not treated with an inkjet-receptive coating.
What is the best way to frame these prints?
Use acid-free mounting boards and matting to ensure the print remains in pristine condition for years.
Is this paper suitable for color photography?
Absolutely. While it is iconic for black-and-white work, its ability to produce deep blacks and rich colors makes it excellent for vibrant color fine art prints.
Troubleshooting
Ink smudging or wet surface after printing
Ensure you have selected the correct 'Heavyweight Matte' paper profile in your print driver and allow sufficient drying time before handling.
Colors appear dull or inaccurate
Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for your specific printer model and verify that color management in your application is set to let the printer manage colors or match the profile selected.
Printer paper feed error
Due to the 310gsm thickness, ensure you are using the rear manual feed tray rather than the bottom cassette to prevent jams.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve optimal performance, ensure your printer settings are adjusted to the 'Fine Art' or 'Heavyweight Matte' media type in your printer driver. It is highly recommended to download the specific ICC profile for this paper from the Hahnemühle website to ensure accurate color management. When handling, always use clean, dry hands or cotton gloves to prevent skin oils from affecting the matt coating. Store the paper in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once printed, allow the ink to cure for at least 24 hours before framing or stacking, and always use archival-grade framing materials to protect the print surface.
