New Fine Art Paper for Books & Albums

New Fine Art Paper for Books & Albums in the HARMAN by Hahnemühle range: MATT FIBRE DUO

MATT FIBRE DUO, the newcomer for 2012 in the HARMAN by Hahnemühle range is designed for unique and long-lasting albums or photo books individually binded. The warm white tone and the smooth surface provide an elegant look-and-feel experience for every portfolio with black & white and colour images.
Italian photographer Nik Barte kindly donates stunning images of his project 'DUNES - unveiled beauties' from sand and stone derserts. "The deserts, the sand and the shapes of the dunes, for me, represent the greatest metaphor of live. Inside this environment you can discover the essence and beauty but also the signals of death.
I like the full energy of the sun but also the total absence of light, the absolute absence of shapes and shadows in the absolute emptiness opposed to the most beautiful and attractive geometric shapes represented by the sinuosity of the dunes. And all that, the different grain of the sand, the windmade shapes and my emotions I could feature in my prints on the new HARMAN by Hahnemühle MATT FIBRE DUO creating memorable fine art books and albums."
The new HARMAN Professional Inkjet by Hahnemühle MATT FIBRE DUO can be printed on both sides and with its grammage of 210 gsm it meets the fine art paper standards. At the same time, it's thin and flexible enough to be bound.
When binding books, the paper fibres always should run parallel to the back of the book cover to make turning the pages easier and avoid breakage of the spine. Therefore, the direction of the fibres is identical in all the sheets of a package and indicated on each box. For double sided prints Hahnemühle recommends the use of Hahnemühle Protective Spray.
