Hahnemühle FineArt showcased the first sample of its new Photo Rag® Pearl in New York. The first production sample from Germany was on display at the Hahnemühle booth at the PhotoPlus Expo Show. The paper was introduced to the worldwide most important market for fine art printing to receive the feedback from professional photografers. The reaction to Photo Rag® Pearl was so favourable that the new paper will be included in the successful Hahnemühle Digital FineArt Collection at the beginning of 2007. The new quality is a natural white, pure cotton rag paper with the fine Photo Rag® surface and the treasured Pearl coating.
“The reaction of PhotoPlus Expo visitors in New York to our Photo Rag® Pearl was so positive that Hahnemühle has decided to launch this paper worldwide at the beginning of 2007. Due to the exclusive use of cotton linters this premium paper is extremely age resistant and conforms to the highest conservation requirements. With a grammage of 320 gsm Photo Rag® Pearl will be available in all popular sheets and roll sizes”, confirmed Jörg Adomat, managing director of Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH, upon his return from New York.
Many professional photographers and semi-professional users were able to gain information on the natural white paper with the lustrous Pearl coating. They took the opportunity to gain insights into the processes used to produce the renowned fine art papers by visting the Hahnemühle booth. The motto for thousands of visitors was “touch and feel”, since the fine art papers directly from the German paper mill offered a unique visual and tactile experience. “The natural white Photo Rag® Pearl will be ideal for capturing warm colours and grey tones”, commented many experienced fine art professionals as they talked shop at the PhotoPlus Expo show in New York.
