Product Information
Full details
The Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta 325gsm is a premium, high-gloss archival inkjet paper designed for professional photographers and fine art printers who demand superior depth and detail in their work. It serves as a modern digital successor to traditional darkroom Baryta papers, offering exceptional Dmax and nuanced tonal reproduction. While it produces stunning results for both black-and-white and color prints, it requires careful handling due to its heavy weight and high-gloss finish, which can be prone to scuffing if not stored or mounted properly.

Troubleshooting
Prints appear dull or lacking contrast
Ensure the correct ICC profile for the Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta 325 is selected in your printer dialog software.
Head strikes or ink smearing
Increase the platen gap or vacuum strength in the printer's media settings to account for the thickness of the 325gsm paper.
Banding in dark areas
Perform a print head alignment and nozzle check to ensure clean ink deposition across the heavy paper fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, always store the paper in its original box in a climate-controlled environment with a humidity range of 40-60%. When setting up your printer, select the appropriate 'Baryta' or 'Fine Art Gloss' media setting in your driver to ensure correct ink load. Due to the high weight of 325gsm, ensure your printer's rear-feed path is used if the front cassette is prone to paper jams.
Handle the prints by the edges to prevent skin oils from affecting the gloss finish. If you intend to frame the prints, use acid-free materials and spacers to prevent the image surface from coming into direct contact with the glass, which can cause sticking over time.
