paper for giclee fine art prints
Our media for archival giclée prints includes fine art media from Hahnemühle Digital FineArt and a range of atelier giclée papers.

The smooth matt paper surfaces such as Hahnemuehle Photo Rag are a good safe choice and great for most image types. If your original artwork is based on watercolour paper then the Hahnemuehle Torchon would be a good fit.

However if you are uncertain about a paper choice please let us know, we would love to help.
