Product Information
Full details
The Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta Paper (325gsm, 24in x 12m) is designed for photographers and printmakers seeking archival quality and exceptional image reproduction. Its key benefit is the brilliant white, high-gloss surface that delivers outstanding color depth, a wide color gamut, and sharp image definition, making it a superb alternative to traditional darkroom baryta papers. A potential consideration is its high gloss, which may be prone to fingerprints if not handled carefully.

FAQs
What is the difference between this paper and a standard glossy photo paper?
FineArt Baryta Paper has a barium sulfate layer, similar to traditional darkroom baryta papers, which provides exceptional depth, gloss, and tonal range. Standard glossy papers typically use a resin coating (RC) and do not achieve the same level of dmax or fine tonal gradations.
Is this paper suitable for black and white prints?
Yes, it is exceptionally well-suited for black and white printing due to its high Dmax, excellent grey tone reproduction, and ability to produce deep blacks and subtle mid-tones, mimicking traditional darkroom results.
How long will prints on this paper last?
When handled and stored properly, and printed with pigment-based inks, prints on Hahnemuhle FineArt Baryta Paper are considered archival and can last for generations (50-100+ years), depending on environmental conditions.
Can I use this paper with any inkjet printer?
It is compatible with most pigment and dye-based inkjet printers. However, always check your printer's specifications for supported paper weight (325gsm) and recommended media types. Using the correct ICC profile is crucial.
What does '325gsm' mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which is a measure of paper weight. 325gsm indicates a thick, substantial paper, contributing to its premium feel and durability.
How should I store unused paper?
Store unused paper in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight, excessive humidity, and extreme temperatures, to maintain its condition.
Do I need special software to print on this paper?
While standard photo editing and printing software can be used, having a printer management system that allows for custom ICC profile selection is highly recommended for achieving the best possible color and tonal output.
Troubleshooting
Colors appear dull or desaturated
Ensure you have downloaded and installed the correct ICC profile for your printer and selected it in your printing software. Verify that the paper type setting in your printer driver matches the paper loaded.
Ink bleeding or poor sharpness
Check that the correct paper type is selected in your printer settings. Ensure the paper is loaded correctly and that the printer's platen gap is set appropriately if your printer offers this option for thicker media.
Paper jamming in the printer
Ensure the paper is loaded straight and not over-saturated. If using a heavy paper, consider using the printer's manual feed tray if available, or fan the paper stack before loading to prevent static cling.
Surface scratches easily
Handle prints with clean cotton gloves. Avoid stacking prints directly on top of each other without interleaving sheets. Allow prints to dry completely before handling or stacking.
