Certified Studios supported by Hahnemühle

The Hahnemühle Excellence Program is based on the successful and internationally renowned Hahnemühle Certified Studio Program and aims to highlight and reward print studios and laboratories that focus on printing excellence, quality consistency, and outstanding service with Hahnemühle inkjet papers. This network of the best print studios and labs from around the world offers photographers and artists support in finding and selecting the right printing partner.

Part of the Hahnemühle Excellence Program is to redefine the rules and benefits to become, remain, or upgrade as a Hahnemühle Certified Studio. All print studios and laboratories receive a status based on qualifications and various conditions. In total, there are four different levels a print studio can reach. Initially, they become part of the Hahnemühle Presidents Club, after their certification they receive the status Hahnemühle Certified Studio Gold and with an upgrade and deeper educational level the Hahnemühle Certified Studio Platinum status. The top forms the Hahnemühle H-Circle, an exclusive group of Hahnemühle print studios that function as official Hahnemühle spokespeople.

All Certified Studios are checked, trained, and certified by Hahnemühle experts according to the strictest criteria. Among many criteria, the print studios must be able to advice on the strengths and variety of Hahnemühle’s FineArt portfolio and have implemented a complete Colour Management system either with custom ICC-Profiles or the ICC-Profiles created by Hahnemühle. Their knowledge and abilities must guarantee a professional and first-rate printing experience.
