PAPER FOCUS

HAHNEMÜHLE FINE ART BAMBOO 290 GSM

There is a softness to truth, not fragile, but human. Hahnemühle Bamboo 290 gsm embodies that feeling. Crafted from 90% bamboo fibers and 10% cotton, it is

the first fine art inkjet paper made from sustainable bamboo, and it brings warmth, depth, and a quiet organic beauty to every print it carries.

Its natural tone enhances skin textures and warm light, making it an ideal surface for portraits, weddings, and moments shaped by emotion rather than control.

Bamboo’s gentle surface diffuses light just enough to feel tactile, as if the image breathes through the paper itself.

For artists like Jorge Sotomayor, whose work finds poetry in real life, Bamboo reflects what the image already holds: honesty. It doesn’t exaggerate or polish; it reveals. Its matte finish absorbs the subtle tonal range of natural light and preserves every quiet detail, from the shimmer of fabric to the trace of a smile.

Printing on Bamboo is not simply a technical choice; it is an intentional one. It speaks to the values of sustainability, permanence, and respect for the materials that connect art to the earth.

In a world of fleeting images, this paper reminds us that meaning takes time, and that beauty often begins with touch.

The Texture of Authenticity.
