Troubleshooting

Ink smudging or poor adhesion

Ensure the correct paper type is selected in your printer settings. Verify that the printer's ink drying time is adequate and that you are not over-saturating the paper with ink, potentially by adjusting print quality settings or using an ICC profile.

Banding or lines in print

Perform a printer head cleaning and alignment. Check that the paper is loaded correctly and not warped. Ensure you are using an appropriate ICC profile for the paper and printer.

Color cast or inaccurate colors

Calibrate your monitor and printer. Install and use a custom ICC profile created for the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm with your specific printer and ink set.
