Why we like it
290 gsm luster inkjet paper for everyday photographs.
Hahnemühle Photo Luster 290 combines a resin-coated paper base with a bright white shade and a luster finish. Its smooth, non-textured surface gives the finished print its surface character. Luster softens the surface shine compared with high-gloss photo paper; the base is resin coated.

Questions before you print
Is this the 260 gsm Photo Luster?
No. This listing is the 290 gsm paper. Check the exact product name, format and code when ordering.
Is its surface a textured fine-art finish?
No. It has a smooth, non-textured resin-coated base and a luster surface. Cotton and alpha-cellulose fine-art papers are separate alternatives.
What should I check before ordering for my printer?
Check the selected format, 290 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 Photo Luster 290, 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.
