Hahnemühle’s Photo Rag^® Baryta wins most coveted photo and imaging award

According to the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), the first digital Baryta paper made of cotton fibers is the best Fine Art inkjet paper worldwide. For the third time, a Hahnemühle Digital FineArt collection paper has won the TIPA award for the best photo and imaging product of the year.

“We are truly proud of having once again been awarded a TIPA trophy,” says Jörg Adomat, Hahnemühle’s Managing Director. “This is an important award for our Photo Rag^® Baryta combining the advantages of a pure cotton paper with the unequalled look of traditional baryta papers from analogue laboratories.”

The coating of the finely structured high-gloss paper contains barium sulfate, making for a characteristic picture impression. No optical brighteners are used for the production of the paper but it features a pleasant white and a perfect balance between brilliance and reflection, nevertheless. Due to these characteristics, the paper represents the number one choice for prestigious gallery prints, with the black-and-white photography enthusiasts in particular appreciating the high Dmax value and the reproduction of the finest shade-of-grey nuances. At the same time, Photo Rag^® Baryta also is perfectly suitable for luminous color pictures.

With a base weight of 315 gsm it is enjoyably slip proof, thus also representing a pleasant haptic experience. Like every Hahnemühle paper, Photo Rag^® Baryta also features ultimate ageing resistance. It goes without saying that it is suitable for every Fine Art inkjet printer.
