Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you print double sided on this paper?

A: I've just read three "No" answers to the question, "Can you print double sided on this paper?" But the paper in question is Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Book & Album paper (Short Grain, 8.5 x 11"), which is clearly described as "Double-Sided" and that means both sides can be printed. And to my personal knowledge it can be printed on both sides. That's why it's a good "Book" paper. The answer to the question is "Yes".

Q: 2. With the Canon Pro-100 printer, does the paper need to be fed through the manual feed tray?

A: That would be best, yes.

Q: 3. Does this paper have a matte service that will accept pencil signatures? Some of the glossier papers will not take pencil very well.

A: I use Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308 frequently, one of the best papers ever made. I found it will not take a standard #2 pencil but it will take the following: a fine art soft lead pencil (i.e., Cretacolor Fine Art Graphite - 160- HB); a Stabilo #8008 ( paper, glass, plastic, metal ) pencil which looks like a #2 pencil and, for a darker look, a Stabilo #8046 which borders on a grease pencil look. The #8046 will smear so be careful. I spray (Hahnemuhle Protective Spray) after signing a print. For other papers, I title and sign the back of the print and then title and sign the matt board before the print goes under glass. The purchasor is assured they have a signed original print. Matt and framing can be an issue. I sometimes leave the signature under the image, especially when using Photo Rag Deckle Edge, and matt the print under the signature. Some customers prefer the matt to the edge of the image, so I title and sign under the image, matt over it, and then sign the matt.
