WHAT IS FINEART BARYTA?

 Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta is a bright white, cellulose-based FineArt inkjet paper with an inkjet coating specially tailored for FineArt use. The clearly visible, exquisite felt structure lends the paper its lovely soft feel and tactile surface texture to produce prints with a stunning three-dimensional quality and depth. The high-gloss premium inkjet coating guarantees outstanding print results with perfect reproduction of colour and detail, deep blacks and striking contrasts. The barium sulphate within the coating gives FineArt Baryta the feel of a traditional analogue baryta paper and makes it a popular alternative for inkjet printing. The acid- and lignin-free FineArt inkjet paper meets the most exacting requirements for age resistance. FineArt Baryta is a versatile classic for FineArt applications and sets standards in the printing of both black and white and colour photographs.

WHAT IS DIASEC?

Diasec® is a patented mounting process which permanently joins together transparent acrylic glass and prints. It is the only mounting method that leaves the final work totally free of streaks or bubbles. Because of the different light penetration and refraction of acrylic glass, compared to normal glass, the colours are more brilliant and the image sharper. And because the print is glued to acrylic glass the result is a completely flat mounted image.

Because the Diasec® process makes the artwork more resistant to UV light and fading, as well as to mechanical wear and tear, Diasec® was initially used for the design of prominent administrative buildings. However, from the mid-eighties on more and more photographic artists started to make use of the process for the presentation and preservation of their work.
