Hahnemuhle Professional Media
I"ve had clients asking me for their line for months now, and if you weren"t one of them before, you"ll surely be one now!First and foremost Ò€“ HahnemÃøhle is Fine Art, High-Quality digital media.
In being a higher-end media, the quality of their media is consistently awarded for excellent color range, rendering, and gradation. Their Digital FineArt Collection is divided into three product lines: Glossy FineArt, Matte FineArt, and Canvas FineArt; each delivering their superior quality on a variety of textures and gsm"s.
FineArt Pearl After our first test prints using HahnemÃøhle"s media on our Epson Stylus Pro 9900 and Canon iPF6350 in the showroom, I was astonished by the side-by-side comparisons with the same print by other paper manufacturers coming off the same printer! The differences were stark; the colors on the HahnemÃøhle media looked more vibrant and distinct, and looked like they were printed by a completely different machine. If you are currently in the business of high-quality printing, whether for art or photography reproduction, you need media such as HahnemÃøhle"s FineArt Pearl; with an ISO brightness of 105%, 320 gsm, and triple coated to provide flawless reproductions. HahnemÃøhle also provides its own ICC profiles, free of charge, for a myriad of printer/media combinations to increase color accuracy and repeatability.
Bamboo 290 Another interesting aspect of HahnemÃøhle is their Green Rooster movement; an environmental initiative to reduce carbon footprint of professional digital printers by creating eco-friendly, but still high-quality, media. A portion of revenue collected by HahnemÃøhle on products with the Green Rooster label is donated to selected environmental protection projects, and even though the media is made up of highly renewable materials, it still ranks better in color reproduction and quality than many others. My favorite from the lineup is Bamboo - particularly suitable for warm-toned color and monochrome prints, and it is the world"s first digital fine art inkjet paper made from bamboo fibers!
At the last WPPI show in Vegas, I attended HahnemÃøhle"s showing and was impressed by their new Gallerie Wrap system. It allows artists and non-artists alike to create professional quality gallery wraps in mere minutes. It is a complete system of easy-to-use fastening components and stretching frames to accommodate most popular imaging formats.
You make the canvas print on your HahnemÃøhle media and printer, then take the print and stretch, fasten, and secure it to the frame in less than 5 minutes!
Feel free to contact me or come visit our showroom and look at some of the prints we have made using this media; I know once you see it in person, you"ll be sold!
