Hahnemuhle Bamboo Gloss Baryta Box (13 x 19", 25 Sheets)

When I first learned Hahnemuhle was coming out with yet another version of Baryta, I admit I was skeptical. How could it be any different or better than the Photo Rag Baryta or Pearl for fine art prints needing the color pop and rich blacks they provide? I was also concerned about. the slightly warmer white base and heavier glossy texture. But since I've become a big fan of the OBA-free sustainable Natural Line bamboo matte paper, I decided to give this a try. And WOW! There is simply nothing I've seen like it, and I've tested dozens of papers. Yes, the colors definitely pop and blacks are deep as they should be. But surprisingly the warm whites are barely noticeable (I shoot primarily color landscapes and nature subjects using an Epson P900). The baryta glossy texture is definitely the heaviest I've seen. But for me, the random application of the coating makes it a gorgeous game changer in such a way that the deep texture seems to add depth to the image. Which makes the reflectivity less of a distraction. Obviously this is all subjective, but it's definitely won me over as a totally unique next level baryta paper to add to my choices. And clients seem to love it.
