Fine Art Paper
When ordering my prints, you can choose between two kinds of paper: Bamboo and Photo Rag® Bright White, both Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper. You will receive a Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity. Each certificate is provided with a numbered hologram and a description of the artwork. An identically numbered hologram will be placed on the back of the artwork. This combination guarantees that the Certificate of Authenticity relates directly to this specific work of art. Below, I will give you the specifications of both the papers, as described on the website of Hahnemühle. In general, you can say that Bamboo will have a slightly warmer tone than Photo Rag® Bright White. It’s hard to show here, but it will definitely not be ‘yellowish’. Rather a subtle warmer tone.
