Hahnemühle › hahnemuehle.co.uk
Hahnemühle’s broad range of Digital FineArt papers recently grew by four more exquisite finishes: Photo Rag Matt Baryta, Photo Silk Baryta X 310, Sustainable Photo Satin 220 and Bamboo Gloss Baryta. We tested them in issue 112 and were suitably impressed. Here, however, our focus is on Hahnemühle’s growing range of inkjet photo cards. With the choice of its most popular finishes including Agave, FineArt Baryta and Photo Rag 308gsm, you get 30 sheets of A5 or 7x5in paper in a smart, slimline metal tin. It’s a brilliant way of producing a mini mobile portfolio, creating a powerful and impressive method of presentation – as opposed to viewing virtual images on a tablet. A personalised portfolio presented in such an elegant fashion also makes them awesome presents for the family, valued clients or as a marketing incentive. Indeed, each time a photo project is completed, you can simply purchase a tin of paper to print out your best shots and build up a gorgeous portfolio of your work.
