Hahnemuhle Torchon is the non-smooth equivalent of Hahnemeuhle Photo Rag with a classic water colour textured surface. A Torchon paper is one that is quite rigid and has an irregular texture. This paper is perfect for fine-art applications such as card making, and suits prints particularily well that rely on mood rather than fine details (think foggy morning shots, forest scenes, that sort of thing). The coating of Torchon is very similar to that of Photo Rag and a single custom profile for one of these papers will be adequate for most people for both papers. Perfect for fine-art cards, this paper can add a real feel of quality to your work.

If you're new to textured matte papers, or papers other than the standard Epson range, this is a great place to start if you're looking for a real fine art, hand made feel. This paper is also excellent for the reproduction of art works, like watercolours and pastels. Great for producing limited edtions (or limited edition certificates!).
