Product Information
Full details
The Hahnemuhle Museum Etching board is designed for professional photographers, digital artists, and print studios looking for archival-grade output that mimics the tactile quality of traditional copperplate etchings. With its heavy 350 gsm weight and 100% cotton composition, it provides an exquisite texture and premium feel for high-end fine art reproductions; however, users should note that the thick 350 gsm caliper requires printers that can accommodate heavy media handling.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this product acid-free?
Yes, as a 100% cotton-based medium designed for archival fine art, it is acid-free and pH-neutral.
Can I use this with pigment or dye inks?
This board is optimized for pigment-based inks to ensure maximum archival longevity and color depth.
Does the 350 gsm thickness fit all printers?
No. Most consumer desktop printers have a limit on paper thickness. Always check if your specific printer supports 350 gsm media.
How do I store the prints?
Store in acid-free sleeves or archival boxes in a stable, cool, and dry environment to prevent environmental degradation.
Is the surface matte or glossy?
It features a beautiful matte, textured finish that mimics traditional copperplate boards.
Troubleshooting
Printer refusing to feed the board
Check your printer's manual for maximum media thickness support. If possible, use the manual rear-feed path instead of the main tray.
Colors look washed out
Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for the Hahnemuhle Museum Etching paper and that 'Color Management' is enabled in your software.
Head strikes or smearing
Increase the platen gap or 'head height' setting in your printer menu to accommodate the extra thickness of the 350 gsm board.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, verify your printer manual confirms compatibility with media up to 350 gsm. Use the rear feed or straight-through paper path if available to prevent bending the board.
- ICC Profiles: Always download and install the specific Hahnemuhle ICC profile for your printer model to ensure color accuracy.
- Media Setting: Select 'Fine Art' or 'Heavy Matte' in your print driver settings.
- Handling: Handle prints by the edges using clean, dry hands or cotton gloves to avoid oils or moisture contaminating the textured cotton surface.
- Storage: Keep rolls in their original packaging and store in a cool, dry place. Once printed, allow the ink to fully cure for 24 hours before stacking or framing.
