Artists have always set the highest standards for the quality and purity
of the papers and boards they use – these are the foundation of their work.
Hahnemühle FineArt has been satisfying these requirements for over 420 years. Through its vast understanding of artistic demands and creative needs, Hahnemühle has developed a comprehensive range of papers for both professional and amateur artists. Generations have relied on the unique quality of Hahnemühle papers!

Few companies can look back proudly on having such a long and diligent tradition as Hahnemühle’s. Since 1584, Hahnemühle’s papermakers have been proving that they have mastered their craft by creating unique and beautiful papers from pure spring water and first-class pulps. In the beginning hand-made vat papers were standard; today, traditional recipes are still used to make papers which inspire painters, graphic artists, illustrators, bookbinders, and an increasing number of photographers. In 1886 our paper mill in the south of Lower Saxony, Germany took the name Hahnemühle and ever since people worldwide have associated this name with the very highest quality of papers.

See, feel, create – Hahnemühle paper simply inspires. The structure and elegance of the sheets and rolls entice the artist to produce imaginative
artwork. Hahnemühle’s Traditional FineArt Collection offers the right artist paper for every technique: watercolor or acrylic painting, sketches and pastel drawings, charcoal, red chalk, or oil paints. But Hahnemühle papers are also the first choice for various printing techniques, including art restoration, digital art production and high quality book-binding. Apart from a wide range of weights and surfaces, we also offer papers with classic watermarks and real deckle edges. Furthermore, all Hahnemühle papers are acid-free, light-fast, and extremely age resistant.
