Photo Rag®

Hahnemühle Photo Rag® is one of the world’s most popular papers and the valued all-rounder for high-quality FineArt inkjet printing. The white cotton artist’s paper, with its characteristic, wonderfully soft feel, boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each artwork a three-dimensional appearance and impressive pictorial depth. Combined with the matt premium inkjet coating, this paper produces outstanding prints that feature brilliant colours, deep blacks, striking contrasts and perfect reproduction of detail. This acid- and lignin-free classic meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and is specially designed for FineArt applications. Whether it is used for FineArt photography or art reproductions, the ideal combination of structure, print quality and weight makes Photo Rag® one of the most versatile FineArt inkjet papers.

As a special highlight, the Photo Rag® 308 is also available with hand-torn deckle edges on all four sides. The result is exclusive prints which truly come into their own in a shadow box frame.

Photo Rag

When evaluating this paper, it’s hard to avoid comparing it to Canson Arches 88. Hahnemühle Photo Rag is just slightly warmer, giving it a classic off-white look. It also has a bit more texture and, to the touch, offers a more premium feel. Black-and-white photographs look fantastic on it—rich in detail with smooth tonal transitions. In my opinion, this is the best matte paper from Hahnemühle.

Compared to it, Ultra Smooth is a little whiter, but it also delivers less contrast. Bright White, on the other hand, didn’t work for me in terms of detail, even though the only supposed difference between Photo Rag and Bright White should be tonal character—with Bright White being the brighter of the two.
