Paper

The difference between the paper costs and quality is something to consider when buying a fine art print.

​

Coastal property designers, yacht interior designers, and art enthusiasts prefer the Hahnemühle Photo rag.

For exhibits, I use the Hahnemühle Photo Rag; I want my prints to look as close to the original as possible.
