Genuine Fine Art Baryta Paper from Hahnemühle

Hahnemühle FineArt announces the launch of digital Fine Art Baryta paper for autumn 
2007. As a traditional artist's paper the "FineArt Baryta 325" will combine an ultra smooth 
surface with an original Baryta finish. The digital Baryta paper has Hahnemuhle's unique 
"touch and feel" experience and is a premium replacement for traditional Baryta papers 
from analogue laboratories. The new paper contains barium sulphate in the coating that 
enhances the typical reflecting gloss, high dmax, large colour gamut and sharp image 
definition of a Baryta paper.

The bright white "FineArt Baryta 325" is currently in the Beta testing phase and is wowing 
the first photographers to use it – particularly for black and white prints due to a high 
dmax, finest grey tones and an outstanding glossy finish.
It perfectly complements Hahnemühle's TIPA award winning product portfolio: in addition 
to matte, semi-glossy and pearl papers the company will then be able to offer a high 
gloss paper on a genuine artist paper basis. The 22nd paper quality from the Hahnemühle 
Digital FineArt Collection is another paper that epitomizes the constant quality and high 
archivability of the premium papers from the artist´s paper mill based in Dassel, 
Germany.

Hahnemühle will showcase first samples of "FineArt Baryta 325", made from 100% alpha 
cellulose with an ultra smooth surface and a grammage of 325 gsm, at upcoming 
international photo shows: Sonimagphoto in Barcelona, Salon de la Photo in Paris, Imaging 
Expo in Shanghai and PhotoPlus International in New York.
Market launch is set for autumn 2007.
