Troubleshooting
Ink smudging during printing
Verify that your printer setting is set to a heavyweight matte or art paper profile to allow for proper ink drying time.
Prints appear dull or lacking contrast
Ensure you are using the correct ICC profile for Hahnemuhle Torchon, as the texture interacts differently with light than glossy papers.
Feed errors in printer
Check that the paper roll is aligned correctly and ensure your printer’s paper path can accommodate 285gsm thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, always set your printer driver to 'Fine Art' or 'Heavyweight Matte' paper settings to ensure the correct ink load is applied. The paper is compatible with both pigmented and dye-based inkjet systems, but it is recommended to perform a test print to verify your ICC profile. For care, handle prints by the edges to prevent skin oils from affecting the matt coating. Store in a cool, dry place and use acid-free materials for mounting or framing to maintain archival properties.
