Hahnemühle FineArt Introduces Museum Etching Digital FineArt Paper

October 20, 2005

Hahnemühle USA, North American distributors of high-quality digital art media from Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH, recently announced the addition of a new inkjet paper to its ArtLine series. Designed for the professional digital artist, this new product is intended to meet the growing requirements of high-end artists, photographers, galleries and museums.

Museum Etching 350gms is a natural white, 100% Cotton Rag, OBA free paper with a slight texture and a soft homogenous surface. This new paper is unique in that while maintaining the desirable traditional surface structure of other etching papers, it also demonstrates the subtle velvety nuances found in 100% rag papers.

Developed in summer of 2005 according to specifications put forth by digital imaging pioneer Stephen Johnson, Museum Etching 350gms will be ready for distribution fall 2005. Available in 17”, 24”, 36” and 44” rolls as well as all standard cut sheet sizes, Museum Etching 350gms is ideal for the discriminating artist who requires a unique traditional art paper.

• “I’ve long wanted a 100% cotton-fiber fine-arts white paper with a traditional printmaking surface of some texture and substance.
  After long discussions as to the kind of paper I needed, Hahnemühle has now made a great implemen tation of those qualities in their new Museum Etching Digital Fine-Art Paper. It is 100% rag, a good weight of 350gsm,
  no optical brighteners, a stable coating and a subtle, rich surface.
  There is no evident linting and it profiled well on the first try. I’ve been using the White Etching for all of my Fine-Art prints for galleries and individual collectors and in my Digital Printing classes to much acclaim.
  It’s a very beautiful paper.”
