FineArt Pearl - Hahnemühle Announces Stunning New FineArt Paper

In response to the growing demand for a superior fiber-based digital Fine Art media with the look and feel of a traditional darkroom photo paper, the Hahnemühle mill is introducing the newest member of its digital FineArt media collection: FineArt Pearl.
As with all Hahnemühle papers, FineArt Pearl has been developed to meet the highest standards of FineArt photographers using only the finest raw materials and manufacturing techniques. FineArt Pearl 285gsm is a triple coated, lignin free, 100% alpha-cellulose paper. The result is age resistant paper with a surface that is remarkably similar to a traditional silver gelatin double-weight photo paper. Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl proved to be significantly superior in D-Max, white point and surface structure. Black values can be truly enhanced to all-time levels by sealing the print with the Hahnemühle Protective Spray.

Museum Etching – a natural paper extremly age resistant

The new Hahnemühle Museum Etching quality will be launched in Europe to coincide with Photokina. With a grammage of 350 gsm it is an artist’s board made of 100% rag. The new quality features the typical texture of a copperplate board and due to its surface texture and natural white colour it is the ideal medium for art reproductions and photographs with warm shades or grey nuances. Due to the exclusive use of rag, a fibre difficult to extract from the cotton plant, Museum Etching complies with the high archival standard for age resistance.

Hahnemühle Inkjet Photo Albums

Promotional portfolio presentations, impressive photo albums or a small print run of prestigious exhibition booklets – the Hahnemühle Inkjet Photo Albums offer ambitious photographers endless possibilities. The lavishly designed albums are now available as sets with 20 sheets of Natural Art Duo paper with a grammage of 216 gsm and 22 interleafs.
As part of its TIPA award-winning Digital FineArt Collection Hahnemühle FineArt presents high-end photo albums that enable photos to be directly printed onto the pages. The elegantly bound albums enable individual layouts on the home PC or Apple and prints using an inkjet printer. The albums are available in A4 and A3 landscape size.
The natural white sheets are bound together with a concealed screw post placket. The sheets possess a printable area of A4 or A3 size, are ready perforated and easy to handle thanks to the easily detachable screw posts. The album sheets can be printed using dye base or pigmented inks in colour or black and white. The Hahnemühle paper specially coated for inkjet printers ensures impressive and above all long lasting individually designed prints.
The hardcover albums are available with the following binding colours: midnight blue, black, silver and claret-red. The cover is embossed with the rooster, the Hahnemühle trademark.

At Photokina 2006 Hahnemühle is introducing a premium leather version of its FineArt Inkjet Albums filled with the new quality Photo Rag^® Duo 276 gsm. Refill packs are available as sets including Fine Art paper, interleafs and extension screws.
