Digital Fine Art Papers
the Hahnemühle collection |
We currently stock what we feel is the finest paper available for giclée printing in terms of archival qualities, print fidelity and variety. The following papers offer a comprehensive choice:–
William Turner, 310gsm
This paper is simply exceptional for watercolours, drawings and other work and is our most popular choice. It has a beautiful textured surface and is a Natural white, with 100% rag content. With a mean pH value of 7, it has excellent archival qualities.
German Etching, 310gsm
Similar in tone to William Turner, it has a slightly smoother surface, is equally acid free and also mould made. Very suitable for a variety of print editions including fine detailed work, black and white photography.
Photo Rag, 308gsm
A much whiter, smoother surface lends particularly well to black and white and colour photographs, and has a 100% rag content. We have also found that oils or acrylic work reproduces brilliantly on this paper if the original painting is on board or canvas, because rather than offering a texture to the paper, its smooth white surface shows the mark making of the original painting.
FineArt Pearl, 285gsm
This new paper is a welcome addition to the range as it offers a remarkable similarity to traditional gelatin heavy photo paper and so stunning for photographic work. At has a look and feel of traditional darkroom paper with a 'pearl', triple coated surface and is made from 100% alpha-cellulose and is lignin free.
White Etching, 268gsm
Very similar to the German Etching paper, it also has 25% rag content which makes the surface slightly softer, and as the name suggests, is whiter.
Canvas Artist, 340gsm
This is a matt artists' cotton canvas with a high quality texture with a natural white tone. It can also be stretched and then varnished after printing which is a popular choice for digital canvas prints. Its coating gives a very good water resistance and print reproduction fidelity. |

There is a 'Satin' version of the Photo Rag, White Etching and Canvas Artist. This gives a slight gloss sheen to the printed image with the unprinted areas remaining matt.

It's the combination of both the papers and inks that make a superior giclée print and at Art4site will have researched what we feel offers the best results. |
