Hahnemühle's Baryta FB and Photo Rag 500gsm honored with Professional Photographer's 2010 Hot One Awards

Professional Photographer magazine has named Hahnemühle's new Baryta FB and Photo Rag 500gsm two of this year's best new products in their annual Hot One Awards. This is the second year in a row that Hahnemühle has been honored with this prestigious award.

The Professional Photographer Hot One Awards represent the publication's annual guide to the photo industry's best new products. Entries are thoroughly tested and evaluated by members of the photographic community, and only the most outstanding products ever receive one of these awards.

Baryta FB received the Hot One Award in the Glossy Paper category. Baryta FB is a bright-white paper with an extra-smooth surface and ultra glossy coating that corresponds to classic Baryta papers in structure and surface. A substantial weight of 350gsm reinforces the traditional character of this paper and yields prints with a stunning look and feel.

Available this year in a heavier weight of 500 grams-per-square-meter, Hahnemühle's new Photo Rag 500gsm was honored with the Hot One Award: Matte Paper. Photo Rag is most popular with photographers who want to make premium quality, fine art prints. The fine, smooth surface and substantial feel of this paper make it extremely versatile-ideal for printing both black and white and color photographs, as well as art reproductions with exceptional depth and dimension.

Hahnemühle FineArt prides itself on innovative, high-quality products. The Hahnemühle Digital FineArt Collection features specially developed coatings for inkjet printers to ensure impressive, and above all, long lasting individually designed prints.
