| | Innova Art
Truly Tailored to the Cutting Edge
Tone. Texture. Lustre. Substance. Absolute fidelity to the artist’s creative vision. Strength. Longevity.
This is the difference a great paper can make to a print. And this is the reason some of the world’s best-known digital artists, photographers and printers choose the Innova Art range of coated fine art papers and canvas.
Artist Richard Hamilton, photographer Douglas Menuez, Eric Kunsman of artists’ book studio, Booksmart Studio, USA: all choose Innova.
21st Century Company
Innova Art is different. Many fine art paper companies were founded centuries ago and while some adapted their existing products to take advantage of the switch to digital printing, only Innova Art – the first international supplier of fine art media to be launched in the 21st century – can claim to have designed papers and canvas specifically for digital fine art printing. Innova Art is part of the revolution.
