Soft to the touch, yet firm in body, Photo Rag Matt offers a
surface that seems to absorb light gently while holding detail
with exceptional clarity. Its matte finish produces deep,
velvety blacks, subtle gradients, and refined skin tones,
making it particularly well-suited for portraits, black & white
work, and emotionally nuanced photography.
With its smooth, understated texture, Photo Rag Matt does
not distract from the image; it supports it. It allows
photographs to breathe, to resonate, to endure.
Like all Hahnemühle Fine Art papers, Photo Rag Matt is
crafted in Germany using time-honored methods and
rigorous quality standards. It is also fully compatible with the
Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity, making it ideal for
collectors and artists who value both permanence and
provenance.
When you print on Photo Rag Matt, you’re not just making an
image. You’re making a statement: this is meant to last.
There are certain materials that elevate a photograph beyond
documentation, into something tactile, reverent, and lasting.
Among the most respected in the world of fine art printing is
Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag Matt 308 gsm: a 100%
cotton, acid-free paper that has become the gold standard
for archival image reproduction.
