A fine art print is only as good as the paper it's printed on. At Salehi Industries, every print is made on genuine Hahnemühle fine art paper, produced at the WhiteWall lab in Germany. Three papers are used depending on the motif — here's how they differ and which suits which image.
Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl (285 gsm)
Pearl is a versatile paper with a fine, pearlescent surface and a subtle sheen. It renders the finest detail and rich colours without strong glare — the balanced all-rounder for both colour and black-and-white motifs. Ideal for images with many tonal values such as skies, architecture or atmospheric street scenes.
Pearl is used, for example, for Eiffel. Paris. and most of our fine art prints.
Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta (315 gsm)
Baryta continues the classic black-and-white darkroom tradition: a glossy baryta paper with especially deep blacks, high contrast and brilliant sharpness. When a motif lives on light and shadow, Baryta gets the most out of it — perfect for dramatic black-and-white photography.
Printed on Baryta: Rainy Day. Paris. and Galerie Noir. Paris. — find more in the Black & White collection.
Hahnemühle FineArt William Turner (310 gsm)
William Turner is a matte, heavily textured mould-made watercolour paper. The fine texture gives images a painterly, almost canvas-like feel and flatters warm tones. Our recommendation for architecture and motifs with golden light.
Examples: Architecture. Paris. and Fisherman. Lisbon.
