Hahnemühle USA, North American distributors of high-quality digital art media from Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH, recently announced the addition of two new inkjet papers. Designed for creative digital artists, these new products are intended to meet the growing requirements of the high-end digital artist who prints limited editions, giclees, original digital art and the like.
Photo Rag® Satin 310 gsm is the most innovative and technically advanced digital fine art paper to date. While maintaining the same surface characteristics as all the Photo Rag papers, Satin will take on a “satin” or “luster” look where there is a printed image yet remain matte on the perimeters. Photo Rag® Satin is ideal for photographic and fine art reproduction where a slight surface variation is desired. This paper works well with both dye and pigment inks.
Hahnemühle’s new Photo Rag® Bright White 310 gsm paper offers the same smooth surface as the very popular Photo Rag papers already offered by the company. This 100% rag, acid free paper provides a brighter white base and is designed to give extra brilliance to both color and monochrome images. The coated side of this paper provides excellent image sharpness and optimum color gradation. The coating also offers a very high level of water resistance. Photo Rag® Bright White is ideal for photographic and fine art reproduction, business cards, greeting cards, certificates and bookmaking as well. It is compatible with both dye and pigment inks.
Both papers are available in a wide selection of sheet sizes and rolls.
“We are pleased to present these new products to the digital printing arena,” said Martin Kerver, President of Hahnemühle USA. “We understand the complex and ever expanding needs of our customers and are committed to meeting the quality standards that have made us the preferred choice for fine art digital printing. Hahnemühle has a rich history with traditional artists and a close involvement with inkjet manufacturers that has allowed us to develop a series of watercolor papers specifically engineered and coated for modern ink jet printing.”
Hahnemühle Digital Fine Art papers have been extensively tested with various manufacturer’s ink sets for UV stability.
