Photo printing on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic paper: A refined choice for high-quality fine art prints

More details, more contrast

One of the great strengths of Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic paper is its ability to bring out details and accentuate contrasts. Thanks to its slightly glossy finish, prints benefit from increased depth, where every shadow, line, and texture seems to come to life. This paper is an ideal choice for images where fine details, such as complex landscapes or architectural scenes, need to be highlighted. The light seems to interact with the image, emphasizing the subtleties of shadows and reflections, while preserving exceptional sharpness.

For fine art photographers like me, precision of detail is crucial. Les Planètes Imaginaires, a photographic series with a particular attention to textures and natural elements, benefits from this metallic effect that adds a dimension of mystery and depth. Photo Rag Metallic paper then becomes the perfect support to enrich these already immersive works.

Unparalleled durability for limited edition fine art prints

Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic is not only an aesthetically pleasing paper, it is also designed to last. Made from pure cotton, this paper is acid-free and meets the highest archival standards. This means that it will withstand the effects of time, while maintaining its original qualities, ensuring the longevity of the prints.

This durability is essential for limited edition works, intended for collectors or exhibitions. Each photograph printed on this paper is designed to withstand the passage of time and maintain remarkable intensity of colour and detail. For art lovers and collectors, this is a guarantee that each print will remain faithful to the photographer’s original artistic intent.

A versatile paper for a variety of artistic works

Whether you work in contemporary photography, portraiture, landscape or architecture, Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic is a versatile choice. It excels in both colour and black and white prints. Images with highlights or metallic reflections, such as water scenes or starry skies, are magnified on this medium.

Its subtle texture also helps to avoid unwanted direct reflections in certain lighting conditions, making this paper ideal for exhibitions in a variety of lighting conditions. In addition, its weight (340 g/m²) makes it a strong and durable paper, ideal for large format prints intended for framing or mounting on supports such as Alu Dibond or Plexiglas.

A commitment to ecology and sustainability

In the field of fine art photography, it is increasingly important to consider the ecological impact of the materials used. Hahnemühle, as a respected paper manufacturer, places great importance on respecting the environment. Photo Rag Metallic is manufactured to strict ecological standards, ensuring that photographers can use this paper without compromising on quality or ethics.

Choosing this paper for your prints not only guarantees optimal rendering of your works, but also represents a responsible and sustainable approach.
