Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic

340 gsm high-gloss metallic inkjet paper for images of metal and glass.

Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic combines a 100% cotton base with a natural white shade and a high-gloss metallic finish. Its characteristic Photo Rag surface structure gives the finished print its surface character. The silvery metallic effect is part of the paper finish, rather than a metallic ink added by the printer.

Questions before you print

Does the effect require metallic ink?

The silvery metallic effect is part of the paper finish, not a metallic ink added by the printer.

Is this a resin-coated photo paper?

No. Photo Rag Metallic is a 340 gsm paper made from 100% cotton, with a natural-white base and no optical brighteners.

What should I check before ordering for my printer?

Check the selected format, 340 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 Rag Metallic, 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.
