Title: What paper do you use to replace Hahnemuhle Photo Silk Baryta 310 gsm?
Post by: jackquin on January 16, 2023, 07:17:59 pm: What paper do you use to replace Hahnemuhle Photo Silk Baryta 310 gsm? H no longer makes this paper. I've tried Canson Baryta Photographique II. Pretty good but not as good.

Post by: Lessbones on January 16, 2023, 07:56:30 pm: Same paper as the old Canson Baryta (I). IMO there isn't really a replacement for it-- I've mainly switched clients to Canson Platine... Unfortunate, as it was a really unique surface.

Post by: aaron125 on January 17, 2023, 05:25:42 am: I’m still using Ilford Gold Fibre Silk. Was able to find a few boxes of it still sealed on eBay a few months ago. Other than that, I also Canson Platine.

Not sure about this but perhaps one of the Epson Legacy papers have something similar?

Felix Schoeller. There were some generations of coating quality though, increased white reflectance for example.

Ernst, op de lei getypt.

Hot off the press (pardon the pun):

Looks promising as a replacement for that group of barytas that went extinct.

I'm currently using Simply Elegant GF. It's also an almost dead ringer:

You can't directly afaik-- I once was visited by a rep who was trying to jump-start direct to consumer sales in the US, but our ordering quantities would have had to have been in # of pallets... :/

Have you tried the Canson Baryta Prestige II 340 GSM? I have obtained excellent results with it. The problem I have with Platine, and I've used a lot of it, smudges too easily. Have totally moved away from this paper due to this issue.

I love Baryta Prestige! Thick too and pretty stiff. I also use Legacy Platine w/o the smudging issue you experience (SC P7570).
