Today I made a test print on Hahnemuhle Bamboo paper. Bamboo is an inkjet paper and part of Hahnemuhle’s Natural Line range.
I have printed colour images before on this paper, but never black and white. I find that with colour images, warm hues are particularly well reproduced and certain complementary colour combinations really sing. This is keeping with Hahnemuhle’s own claims, but I today wanted to test their assertion that the paper is good for black and white too.
The paper has a very attractive surface, which I’ve attempted to show in the above images. Slightly textured, but still largely flat in profile, I was very happy with the way my monochrome piece sat on it.
Surely a paper I will play more with in future work.
