"Hemp" paper bridges the gap between the origins of papermaking and the advanced production processes of the Hahnemühle paper mill. Sixty percent of this print medium is made from hemp fibers — that robust plant fiber woven into the documents of the American Declaration of Independence, which have endured to this day. Hemp gives the paper not only impressive longevity but also a fine texture and a radiant white tone. Combined with cotton fibers, the hemp paper achieves a weight of 290 g/m², placing it firmly in the premium category. The natural fibers give the paper a uniform, felt-like quality. For art printing, it's prepared with a matte coating that ensures brilliant color reproduction and deep blacks. This makes the eco-friendly paper an excellent medium for painting reproductions.

Hemp paper captivates with its soft touch and pleasant surface — qualities that make it ideal for display in any interior. Its exceptional durability and matte finish make 'Hemp' a versatile print medium that handles even the most intense colors with ease. Whether hung freely on the wall, framed without glass, or presented museum-style with a mat and anti-reflective glass, this paper delivers. In a busy family home or a professional setting, framing offers extra protection from dust, light, and dry heating air, making it easier to care for the artwork over time.

Within Hahnemühle's 'Natural Line,' the focus is on papers made from natural raw materials. This authenticity shines through in the paper's appearance and pairs beautifully with nature-inspired subjects. Carel Fabritius's delicate painting of the goldfinch is a perfect match for hemp paper. The vibrant bird illustrations of John James Audubon demand faithful detail and true-to-life color — something this fine art paper delivers masterfully. These are just two examples of the many atmospheric landscapes and scenes whose evocative mood comes alive on a matte surface. Works that come as close to the original as possible in detail and sharpness.
