Meet Two New Fine Art Papers From Hahnemühle

Updated on June 29, 2026

The paper you choose shapes more than the look of a print — it influences the depth, texture, and overall experience of the final piece. That's why we're excited to introduce two new additions to our Fine Art Paper lineup from Hahnemühle: Photo Rag Matte and Photo Rag Matte Baryta. Both papers are crafted from 100% cotton and designed to deliver museum-quality results, but each brings its own distinctive character to the images you create.

Photo Rag Matte

Photo Rag Matte is a smooth, 100% cotton paper that balances authentic fine art character with exceptional print performance. With its substantial 308 gsm weight and refined matte surface, it creates a premium presentation while allowing the image itself to remain the focus.

This paper delivers:

  • Rich, natural color reproduction
  • Precise detail and image sharpness
  • A smooth surface with the authentic feel of fine art paper
  • Archival-quality presentation designed for lasting prints

Its versatility makes it a strong choice across a wide range of work, from portraits and weddings to landscapes, senior photography, and fine art imagery.

Photo Rag Matte Baryta

For photographers looking for something a little different, Photo Rag Matte Baryta offers a distinctive surface designed to bring added dimension to the final print. It is especially well suited for gallery prints, black-and-white imagery, fine art photography, dramatic landscapes, and images with deep shadow detail. The result feels elevated and refined without introducing a traditional glossy finish.

Photo Rag Matte Baryta features:

  • Printed areas reveal a subtle sheen while unprinted areas remain matte
  • Deep blacks with an expanded tonal range
  • Enhanced sharpness and clarity for fine detail
  • Museum-quality archival permanence
  • A non-glossy alternative to traditional baryta papers

Finding the Right Surface for Your Work

Fine art papers aren't one-size-fits-all. The paper you choose becomes part of the image itself, influencing how details are rendered and how viewers experience your work.
Whether you prefer the timeless simplicity of Photo Rag Matte or the distinctive character of Photo Rag Matte Baryta, these new additions offer even more ways to create prints that feel intentional from capture to final presentation.
