The Hahnemuhle paper mill has been producing quality mould made artists papers for over 415 years. Since its founding in 1584 they have developed experience and a tradition of excellence in art materials that have now been brought to the digital age. Their rich history with traditional artists and close involvement with inkjet printer manufacturers have allowed Hahnemuhle to develop a series of watercolour papers specifically engineered and coated for modern inkjet printing. The result is the Hahnemuhle collection of Digital Fine Art papers.
Designed for discerning users, these grades of Digital Fine Art paper can be used to create limited editions, giclees, original digital art, traditional output, photographic and historic photographs on a choice of paper textures, multiple colours and a huge variety of sizes and weights. These are currently available in cut sheet sizes of A4, A3, A2, and roll sizes of 24", 36" and 44" for wide format printers. The papers are compatible with all inkjet printers up to a printed resolution of 1440 dpi, whilst printers that feed flat from the bottom and bending the paper up and round only being recommended up to 210 gsm. The Hahnemuhle papers work equally well with both dye and pigmented based inks on a wide variety of printers providing a colour intensity and crispness not possible with non-coated art papers.
The Hahnemuhle collection is manufactured in the traditional mould-made and fourdrinier techniques that artists value for its unique rich look, feel and texture. Surface coating in a combination with the traditional paper base and the right inks will produce sharpe, high resolution output with the warmth and quality of the hand generated artwork. Hahnemuhle Digital Fine Art papers have been extensivly tested with various manufactures ink sets for UV stability by the Wilhelm Research Centre in the USA and conform to the Blue wall scale of 6 or above in the UK on their testing procedure requirements.
