Caring for Your Hahnemühle German Etching Print

This artwork is printed on 310 gsm Hahnemühle German Etching paper. Made from 100% α-cellulose, it features a beautiful, tactile felt texture that gives the print wonderful visual depth. It is also museum-quality and acid-free, meaning it’s built to last a lifetime.

Here are a few simple suggestions to help you handle and frame your new piece:

Unpacking & Handling

Handling the paper The textured matte surface can sometimes pick up natural oils from your hands. To keep the image pristine, it's best to lift and hold the print by the unprinted white borders.
Keep it clean If you have clean cotton gloves handy, feel free to use them! If not, just make sure your hands are clean and dry before unpacking.

Flattening the Print

Because this paper is quite thick and heavyweight, it will naturally want to stay curled after traveling in its shipping tube. It just needs a little time to relax before framing.

Unroll Gently unroll the print onto a clean, flat surface.
Protect Keep the included tissue paper draped over the artwork to keep dust off.
Weight it down Place clean, flat, heavy objects (like large books) on the corners to gently press the paper flat.
Let it rest Leave it to settle for a day or two. Giving it time to relax naturally will make framing easier.

Framing Suggestions

If you are working with a local framer, here are a few recommendations to achieve our atelier’s signature look:

Use a spacer Ask your framer for a "spacer" mount. This creates a small physical gap between the glass and the artwork, preventing the textured paper from pressing flat against the glass. It allows the beautiful felt structure to cast subtle, natural shadows.
Frame style A simple wood profile (we love a 15 mm face and 30 mm depth) frames the work beautifully without overpowering it.
Glass Anti-reflective glass with UV protection (such as Artglas) is a fantastic choice. It cuts down on glare so you can truly appreciate the paper's texture, and it helps protect the pigments from fading in the sunlight.
Materials Simply ask your framer to use acid-free backing boards and tapes to keep the paper healthy over the years.

General Care

Keep it dry Avoid using liquids, damp cloths, or cleaning sprays near the unglassed print, as water can easily spot the paper.
Dusting If the print needs a quick dusting before it goes into the frame, a very light sweep with a soft, clean brush will do the trick perfectly.

I never thought a painting could move me so deeply that I’d need to make it part of my home. ‘Bird’ feels like the missing piece of my home, filling it with a beautiful, quiet and wistful atmosphere.

I was very surprised by the effect of the picture. Initially, I wasn't sure whether to choose a larger size, but I simply framed the print with a larger mount and it now has even more impact.
My colour-blind friend is fascinated by it, too. We are very happy with our purchase.

An amazing Artist with high quality work

It instills a feeling and I love it

Brilliant piece that looks amazing in our home. Arrived in time during the Christmas rush!

I bought your painting as a gift for my wife. She follows your work and really likes it. I am also a graphic designer and I studied polygraphy. I have to say that I have never seen such a quality print. And of course your specific color work is great, something completely new for me. Thank you very much!

I purchased this piece for my office. I need my office space to be vibrant and beautiful because I spend so much time there. The framed piece I received is absolutely stunning. The colors are rich, and the quality is immaculate. I am very proud to display this in my home. Thank you, Kalle.

Very nice artwork. And what a beautiful print. Makes my room and life more colorful than before.
Thank you, Kalle

One day I will have more saving, I will try to buy an original one. I really like the details of your finishing.

I really love the art from Kalle! “Melancholy dipped in sunshine really” describes the art well. Also the service provided while ordering (which size and frame to choose) was very good!

I must say it brought tears of joy to my eyes when I opened my package. I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to hang this piece of art on my wall.

The painting feels like it was painted for me personally. My only regret is that i do not have the money to buy a bigger version!

Also promptly sent and very good shipping condition!

Jeg har købt to smukke værker af Kalle, som begge med hver deres grafiske streger og farvekombination giver en levende indretning sammen med min øvrige kunst på væggene. Ud over, at være smukke farver, har hvert værk en fortælling, som man selv kan tolke og fundere over. Jeg er ikke i tvivl om, at værkerne bliver blikfang i mit nye hjem om lidt.
