Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Reviews

This is my choice framed under glass.

I have used this paper for maybe twenty years or more, thousands of prints. It is still my choice, framed under glass. I recently bought a new printer. An Epson P5370, and this paper makes a combination that really works for me.

Excellent Color And Subtle Texture

I’m New To Printing My Own Limited Edition Prints Of My Work (on An Epson ET-8550) And Have Tried Some Epson Papers As Well As Hahnemuhle Matte Fine Art Torchon. Comparing The MFA Torchon To The Photo Rag, The Photo Rag’s Color Is A Bit Brighter And Values A Bit Lighter Than MFA Torchon. The Smooth Texture Is Very Subtle And Paper Weight Has A Good Feel In The Hand. So, I’ve Settled On The Photo Rag For My Limited Edition Prints Of My Work.

question

Is the paper surface in the Photo Rag Book & Album heartier than the regular Photo Rag from Hahnemuhle? I find that surface very soft. In other words, will the Book & Album paper stand up to being handled?
Asked by: Barbara
The Photo Rag® Book & Album is exactly the same paper base as all of there Photo Rag® products. It is exactly the same surface. I hope this helps.

No it is not. The paper is ideal for use in book and album creation thanks to its uniform grain direction.

Can the Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Book & Album Paper be folded without cracking the surface? I'm making book with folded pages.
Asked by: Shaun
The Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Book & Album Paper (Short Grain, 11 x 17", 25 Sheets), B&H # HAPRA111725, is not recommended for this use case. If it does not show cracking right away, it will over time.

question

Is there any difference in a quality of Photo Rag 308g vs 188g papers?
Asked by: Anonymous
The image quality does not differ between the 2 papers. The only difference is the weight and thickness of the papers. So the visual interpretation may vary.
