PAPER FOCUS - HAHNEMÜHLE FINE ART SUSTAINABLE PHOTO SATIN 220

There’s a quiet revolution underway in the world of fine

art printing—one that doesn’t compromise beauty for

sustainability. Hahnemühle Sustainable Photo Satin 220

is part of that future. Made from 100% alpha-cellulose

sourced from responsible forestry and crafted with solar

energy, it speaks to a new standard: care for the image,

and care for the world it enters.

At 220 gsm, its lightweight satin finish offers a balanced

sheen, soft enough for portraits, luminous enough for

landscape and architecture. The surface handles

pigment inks with ease, rendering rich blacks and clean

tonal transitions without gloss-induced harshness. It’s a

versatile, accessible, and elegantly understated photo

paper.

What sets this paper apart is not only its performance,

but its intent. It is the first in a new generation of

Hahnemühle Photo papers designed for environmentally

conscious creatives. With no optical brighteners and a

natural white tone, it delivers honest color without

artificial glare, supporting images that speak softly but

carry emotional weight. It reminds us that sustainability

is not a limitation, but an aesthetic, a choice to align

beauty with responsibility.

For photographers working in film, the Sustainable

Photo Satin 220 adds a natural, tactile softness that

complements the analog aesthetic. For digital artists, it

provides a clean, modern base with just the right

amount of warmth.

This is a paper for those who want to make something

beautiful.

It’s not about sacrifice.

It’s about synthesis, where craft meets conscience.
