Yes
I got a selection of hahnemule papers as a sampler.

I tried the bright white photo rag, with the hahnemule icc profile, and was really really disappointed with it.
I printed the same image on 4 different papers, with the relevant profiles most of the images were ok, but the hair on this paper came out with a real green tinge (the rest of the image was dull in comparison to the others).

Has anyone got good results with this paper? Is it best for b&w only? (Rarely print b&w)
 
Hello,
been using this paper on HP Z3100 and epson 3880. Results consistently lovely IMO. Sorry, I cannot help resolve your prob. but sure it is not the paper on its own.

Well, I printed out on 6 different types of paper now (I like a particular paper from Illford, but seeing as they are in trouble possibly, and I can't find any to purchase that I can afford at the mo, I am looking at alternatives).
The snap below shows 4 copies of a particular image, I think that you might be able to guess which is the photo rag. I even double-checked that I hadn't printed on the wrong side!
Trying to find reviews on the net, I see that some people do rate the paper, but one person (has been relatively accurate in the past) considered the hahnemule profile as only being around 75% accurate. It could be that I need to do a custom profile, which I could do with the profiler I have, but, the sample pack only has one sheet, so a bit of a down-side there.

The large image is the paper I currently use, the other copies that I printed of that have all been 'good enough' considering that it wasn't a custom profile. The Hahnemule is, well, awful (in fact in this photo, even the white backgound is way off, taken with a flash)
