Hahnemuhle To Announce Four New Products Available in 60” at WPPI 2008

Hahnemuhle USA, North American distributors of high-quality digital art media from Hahnemuhle FineArt GmbH, will announce four new media products at WPPI. All four new products will be on display at the Hahnemuhle booth 217 at the Paris hotel in Las Vegas, NV from March 17-19th 2008.

Designed for creative digital artists, these new products are intended to meet the growing requirements of the high-end digital artists and photographers. The following four products are new to the Digital Fine Art Collection and all will soon be available in 60” - Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth, Photo Rag® Baryta, Daguerre Canvas and Monet Canvas.

Photo Rag® Ultra Smooth 305gsm has a very smooth surface texture with a slightly higher white- point than Photo Rag® 308. It has an exceptional ink limit, resulting in impressive high saturation and Dmax.

Photo Rag® Baryta 315gsm is a 100% rag, OBA-free, natural- white paper with a barium sulfate finish. The coating gives the rag base a high-gloss finish, which enhances luminosity and color fidelity.

Daguerre Canvas 400gsm is a specially coated artist canvas made of poly-cotton with a tactile surface texture which makes it perfect for fine art photo printing. Its bright-white color provides clear, fresh color and contrasts for black and white reproductions.

Monet Canvas 410gsm is a genuine artist canvas made of 100% cotton with a special coating that is ideal for fine art printing. Its white-point is perfect for art reproduction, but also works well for high quality photo printing. This canvas offers detailed color and grey tones, as well as optimal depth to your artwork.

“We are pleased to present these new products to the digital printing community,” said Martin Kerver, President of Hahnemuhle 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 printing. Hahnemuhle has a long history with traditional artists and a close relationship with inkjet manufacturers that have allowed us to develop a series of digital inkjet papers, specifically engineered and coated for modern inkjet printing.”

Hahnemuhle will be selling sample rolls of the two new Canvas products at the WPPI show for $5 each. The Daguerre and Monet Canvas sample rolls are 17” wide and 5’ long.
