FAQs
Is this paper acid-free?
Yes, it is designed for archival purposes and is acid-free.
Can I use this with dye-based inks?
While it can be used with various inks, it is optimized for professional-grade pigment ink systems.
Does this paper have an optical brightener?
Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl is engineered for natural white tones, minimizing the need for heavy optical brighteners.
What is the best way to cut this roll?
Use a sharp rotary cutter or a high-quality print finishing blade on a self-healing mat to avoid fraying the edges.
Does the paper curl after printing?
Due to its 285gsm weight, it is resistant to curling, though it should be laid flat under a weight if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Prints appear dull or colors are muted.
Ensure the correct ICC profile for Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl is selected in your printing software.
Scuffing or marks on the print surface.
Check your printer settings to ensure the platen gap is set for 'thick' or 'fine art' media.

Verify that your printer driver settings match the 285gsm weight and that the paper is fully dry before handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, always store the paper in its original packaging at a temperature of 15-30 degrees Celsius and a relative humidity of 35-65%. When handling, wear cotton gloves to prevent oils from your skin from transferring to the paper surface, which can interfere with ink adhesion. Always use the manufacturer-provided ICC profile for your specific printer model to ensure color accuracy. After printing, allow the ink to cure for at least 24 hours before framing or stacking, and use acid-free materials for mounting to maintain its archival integrity.
