Print days in the studio are always exciting. Shipped a couple of prints off to new collectors and made some test prints yesterday. Every single time, I’m floored by Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic paper — it’s something special. It handles detail in the deep shadows beautifully in a way matte paper simply can’t. That infrared image on top? On matte, it’d be completely muddied. The high Dmax of the metallic paper retains every detail and actually makes those branches glow. When the right image meets the right paper, it just sings. The camera doesn’t do it justice.
What’s your favorite fine art paper — or are you a baryta person? Have you tried this metallic paper? Would love to hear your thoughts. 👇
