PAPER FOCUS - Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Silk Baryta X 310 gsm. - Where precision meets poetic contrast.

There are papers that support an image, and others that elevate it. Hahnemühle Silk

Baryta belongs to the latter, crafted for photographers who demand both tonal fidelity

and tactile presence.


With its elegant, slightly glossy surface and silky smooth texture, Silk Baryta 310 gsm.

offers the depth of a traditional darkroom print with the stability of archival inkjet

technology. It brings out the richness of deep blacks, the brilliance of highlights, and the full complexity of midtones, making it ideal for black and white photography, high-

contrast compositions, and finely structured color work.


Unlike matte papers that diffuse light completely, Silk Baryta reflects just enough to give the image dimension. Its natural white base, free of optical brighteners, ensures accuracy while avoiding artificial coolness. The paper’s baryta coating, a nod to traditional fiber- based darkroom materials, adds a gentle sheen that feels classic without overpowering.


This is a paper for the quiet purist. For the photographer who understands the discipline of balance. For images that rely on geometry, light, and form to speak volumes.


Every sheet of Hahnemühle Silk Baryta is acid and lignin free, meeting the highest

standards of archival permanence. It’s also certified for use with the Hahnemühle

Certificate of Authenticity, making it a trusted choice for exhibitions, collectors, and fine art editions.


To print on Silk Baryta is to print with intention. It’s a statement of clarity, restraint, and

quiet sophistication.
