Printing your work can be a very satisfying experience. The level of control you have when you do it yourself is unmatched and can be extremely rewarding. There’s also the feeling you get when you’re holding one of your photographs in your hand, which just can’t be beat. Sticking with classic glossy, luster, or matte paper is certainly a very good way to work with most of your images, but there are some more unique and alternative options available that can impart even more character into your printed photograph. Here are a few intriguing ones that you should check out.
1. Hahnemühle Natural Line Papers
As Hahnemühle writes, “Sustainability and digitization are mega trends. So, as inventors of digital fine art papers, what could be more natural than for us to develop sustainable papers?” And that’s exactly what this manufacturer did with its Natural Line trio of inkjet papers, made from Agave, Bamboo, and Hemp materials. Each of these three “green” papers are made from sustainable sources, do not feature any optical brightening agents, and are still acid- and lignin-free for archivability. While the finished papers aren’t remarkably unique looking—Agave has a rougher textured matte surface, Bamboo has a lightly textured matte surface, and Hemp has a smooth, silky matte surface—they are unique in how they’ve been produced.
