Our take

Why we like it

A reliable, high-performance paper. It is the workhorse for event photography and daily proofing. It’s durable, dries instantly, and provides a professional luster finish that resists fingerprints while maintaining a wide, vibrant color gamut.

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.

Similar to the Luster but with a more refined, "pearly" sheen. It is a heavier-weight RC paper that feels more substantial in the hand. It’s an excellent bridge between standard photo lab prints and true fine art cotton papers.
Top-performing photo paper featuring traditional "orange peel" luster surface of silver halide prints. Professional photographers' favourite. Works with pigment and dye printers. Cut sheet version of Premium Luster 260. Excellent colour accuracy.
