Hahnemühle paper is a premier photographic printing paper that is the digital age’s equivalent of anything we may have used in silver halide photographic processes in the old days.
It is archival, holds an incredible depth of color and grayscale, and offers the best possible medium for printing high-resolution image files. Saal Digital is certified to use these fine papers for your photo art printing needs.
In today’s post, I’d like to share some insights into Hahnemühle paper and explain why this type of paper is beneficial for your images.

Overview of Hahnemühle Paper
Hahnemühle is Germany’s oldest artist paper manufacturer and has been at the same site for 435 years. Founded in 1584, Hahnemühle has been making its papers from natural fibers and pure water, consistently producing the best papers while also being a leader in environmental protection through the Green Rooter Initiative.
The digital photo line Hahnemühle papers have a conservative archival longevity estimate of over 30 years and are also certified vegan. These are high-end, unique, and extremely high-quality papers that can be used for a wide variety of photographic printing.
Hahnemühle papers for photo printing have either a non-textured cellulose paper base or a polythene-coated carrier material, and all of them have an inkjet coating optimized for photography.
Printing with Hahnemühle paper provides extraordinary print results with bright colors, perfectly deep blacks, excellent contrast, extraordinary detail, and amazing pictorial depth.
