ARCHIVAL ART PAPER
The Right Paper Makes the Print
Choosing the right paper is as important as the print itself. At Silver Print, we carry a curated selection of Hahnemühle archival fine art papers — the global benchmark for museum and gallery-grade printing. Each paper is chosen for its surface quality, colour gamut, and archival longevity.

MATT FINEART SMOOTH PAPERS
Hahnemühle
Photo Rag
308 GSM
100% Cotton
White

Hahnemühle
Photo Rag Ultra Smooth
305 gsm
100% cotton
White
Ultra Smooth is Photo Rag refined further — the same cotton base, its felt texture softened to an almost silken matte. We reach for it when a print needs to feel calm: fine detail, true blacks, nothing competing with the image.

GLOSSY FINEART PAPERS
Hahnemühle
Photo Rag Satin
310 gsm
100% cotton
White
Satin sits between matte and gloss — Photo Rag's familiar soft cotton hand, lifted by just enough sheen to add real depth to colour. Ideal for prints that want to feel a little more luminous, without going fully glossy.

Hahnemühle
Photo Rag Baryta
315 gsm
100% cotton
White
Baryta brings the deep, glossy presence of a traditional fibre print to a pure cotton base — warm, natural white, with no optical brighteners to fade over time. Our go-to for that classic darkroom look.

MATT FINEART TEXTURED PAPERS
Hahnemühle
Museum Etching
350 gsm
100% cotton
Natural white
At 350gsm, Museum Etching is the heaviest paper we carry, with a pronounced texture that gives prints real physical presence. The natural white cotton base has no optical brighteners, so the tone stays honest for decades.
Hahnemühle
German Etching
310 gsm
100% α-cellulose
White
Genuine mould-made paper
Mould-made in the old tradition of copperplate printing paper, German Etching has a velvety, finely structured surface that's easy to recognise once you've felt it. Its crisp white base suits work with strong contrast and fine detail.
Hahnemühle
William Turner
310 gsm
100% cotton
White
Genuine mould-made paper
William Turner is, at its core, a mould-made watercolour paper — and it shows. Of everything we stock, it has the most assertive texture, giving photographs and reproductions an almost painterly depth.
FINEART NATURE LINE
Hahnemühle
Bamboo
290 gsm
90% bamboo fibres, 10% cotton
Natural white
The first FineArt inkjet paper made from 90% bamboo fibre, Bamboo has a soft, lightly textured surface in a warm natural white. No optical brighteners means that warmth stays true — lovely for landscapes and organic subjects.
Hahnemühle
Agave
290 gsm
70% agave fibre, 30% cotton
White
Genuine mould-made paper
Bamboo's sibling in the Nature Line, Agave is made mostly from sisal fibre, with a brighter white tone and a rougher, more defined texture that adds depth without overwhelming the image.
CANVAS FINEART PAPER
Hahnemühle
Canvas Artist
340 gsm
Poly-cotton
Natural white
A matte poly-cotton canvas with a genuinely coarse weave — not paper made to look like canvas, but canvas, built to the same archival standard as everything else here. Printed up to 64 inches wide on our Epson SureColor.
HAHNEMÜHLE PHOTO
Hahnemühle
Photo Matt Fibre 200
200 gsm
100 % alpha-cellulose
Natural white
The lightest paper in our range — a smooth, barely-there texture in warm natural white, built for proofs, photo books, and everyday archival printing. Where most clients new to fine art printing begin.
