Hahnemühle German Etching

Questions before you print

Is German Etching a cotton rag paper?

No. The manufacturer specifies 100% alpha-cellulose. Its mould-made texture should not be taken to mean a cotton base.

How does it differ from Museum Etching?

German Etching is 310 gsm and white with a clearly defined felt structure. Museum Etching is 350 gsm, 100% cotton and natural white with a fine felt structure.

What should I check before ordering for my printer?

Check the selected format, 310 gsm weight, thickness and loading path against your exact printer. A suitable ink coating does not establish that every size or roll will feed in every model.

Profiles, media settings and handling

For German Etching, match the ICC profile to the exact printer, ink set and paper and follow the profile’s supplied driver media settings. A driver profile does not establish RIP support. Apply colour management once and make a small test print before a full run. Keep fingers away from the printable surface and protect prints from dust and abrasion.
