Hahnemuhle Photorag Baryta Specks

[deanwork]

Does anyone know if Hahnemuhle ever resolved the production issues of gray metallic specks showing up in the Photorag Baryta media? This situation lasted for years so I eventually bailed on it.

I have a client that want's to use it if we can. I switched years ago to the H. Photorag Pearl which I find almost the same paper with a very slight texture difference. I actually like it better, my client already has a lot of work printed on the Baryta so I might have to deal with it again in roll form if it is straightened out. Does anyone know?

Well, all I can say is that in the course of 2014 I must have used something like 2 rolls (1 of 24" and 1 of 36") of Photo Rag Baryta and had no issues like you described.
They must have solved it or I got a good batch.

Thanks Geraldo.

Anyone else using it these days?

Hi John,

Hahn Photo Rag Baryta is a regular request for my clients. No abnormalities noted.

I have printed 10-15 rolls of Photo Rag Baryta in 2014 with no issues. Mostly 44" rolls, some 60" and a few 24" rolls.

Looks like they finally fixed it.
