Hahnemühle Bamboo 290gsm
Hahnemühle Bamboo 290gsm is the most distinctive paper in GPP's range — and the most sustainable. Made from 90% bamboo fibre and 10% cotton, it produces at 83% whiteness a paper with a warm cream-white tone unlike anything else we stock. For photographers who work in warm palettes — golden-hour light, portrait skin tones, earthy landscapes, monochrome — Bamboo doesn't just print the image, it adds character to it.

At 290gsm with a soft, lightly textured surface, Bamboo has the heft and feel of a premium fine art paper. It's acid- and lignin-free, ISO 9706-compliant, and carries the archival credentials expected of a serious fine art substrate. The matt inkjet coating works beautifully with pigment inks, producing defined colour and good tonal contrast, with a tendency to lean warm in a way that flatters natural subjects especially.
At GPP, Bamboo is the paper we recommend when a client's work has a natural, earthy, or organic quality — wildlife photography, landscape photography, botanical subjects, or any work where the print should feel like it grew from the same world as the image. It's also a genuine conversation piece: clients who haven't seen it before often ask about it.
