Our Expert Opinion

A lighter-weight version of the iconic 308. It retains the same beautiful color gamut and smooth matte finish but is better suited for smaller prints, portfolio pages, or framing behind glass where a thick substrate isn't required.

Description

Hahnemühle Photo Rag® (188gsm) is one of the world’s most popular papers and the valued all-rounder for high-quality FineArt inkjet printing. The white cotton artist’s paper, with its characteristic, wonderfully soft feel, boasts a lightly defined felt structure, lending each artwork a three-dimensional appearance and impressive pictorial depth.

With it's premium matte inkjet coating, this paper produces outstanding prints that feature brilliant colours, deep blacks, striking contrasts and perfect reproduction of detail. This acid- and lignin-free classic meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance and is specially designed for FineArt applications. Whether it is used for FineArt photography or art reproductions, the ideal combination of structure, print quality and weight makes Photo Rag® one of the most versatile FineArt inkjet papers.

Compatible with pigmented and dye inkjet systems.

The industry gold standard for fine art. Its smooth, felt-like texture provides incredible depth and detail for both B&W and color photography. It feels substantial and premium, making it the most versatile all-rounder for high-end gallery exhibitions.
Texture pattern more random than Cold Press—handmade but refined feel. Traditional watercolor aesthetic. No optical brightening agents, ideal for archival prints with color stability lasting generations. Truly museum quality. Long-term stability without compromise.

We know paper

We regularly test fine art and photographic papers from Epson, Hahnemühle, and Moab to better understand how different media perform with professional inkjet printers and pigment inks. While Tricera specializes in Epson printing systems, the Hahnemühle and Moab papers we carry are designed for use with any professional pigment inkjet printer, including Canon and HP, making them a strong option for photographers, print studios and production environments across Canada regardless of which printer brand they use.

Tricera is a Canadian-owned authorized Epson Pro Graphics dealer specializing in Epson professional printers, genuine Epson inks, and a curated selection of fine art and photographic papers from Epson, Hahnemühle, and Moab. We work with print labs, universities, photographers, galleries and creative studios across Canada that depend on professional printing systems for reliable, high-quality output.

With more than 20 years of hands-on experience working with Epson Pro Graphics equipment, we do more than list specifications. We actively work with Epson printers and test many of the papers we sell in real production environments. That allows us to offer practical guidance based on actual use, including media selection, print application and workflow considerations.
