Traditional artists use genuine cotton canvas for their paintings. And because they paint the original on a canvas they prefer an inkjet canvas made out of 100% cotton for reproductions of their pictures. As world market leader for digital fine art media Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH has just introduced this quality into its program. This third canvas quality in Hahnemühle’s Digital FineArt Collection, called FineArt Canvas, is ideal for fine art photo images as well as
art reproductions.
The new FineArt Canvas made of genuine cotton canvas is slightly finer in structure than Canvas Artist from Hahnemühle. The pure cotton fabric reproduces the finest details of the original artwork in the fine art photo or reproduction. The restrained structure of the FineArt Canvas enables prints
rich in nuances with outstanding 3D effects, e.g. in portrait photography.
The natural white fabric features the tried and tested matte ink receptive coating available in other Hahnemühle media. A semi-glossy coating is in the pipeline for the new FineArt Canvas.
Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH is introducing the new cotton canvas by popular demand from many customers who are looking for a premium canvas quality
at an interesting price level. User feedback has been incorporated into the development of the material. What makes FineArt Canvas so unique: instead
of using synthetic fibres the cotton canvas is coated after production to endow it with excellent stretch properties. Hahnemühle sources this canvas from a traditional European canvas manufacturer and treats it with the successful inkjet coating used for the worldwide leading Hahnemühle media. This high-end coating is suitable for inkjet prints using both dye-based or pigment inks and guarantees outstanding image definition and excellent colour gradation. The fabric can also be subsequently varnished with ease. The Hahnemühle FineArt Canvas has a grammage of 350 gsm and is available in 24”, 36” and 44” rolls, 12 meters in length.
