What is Hahnemule?

There are very few companies worldwide that can be proud of such a long company history like Hahnemühle’s. Founded back in 1584 as a paper mill in South Lower Saxony’s Solling uplands, Hahnemühle developed – strictly according to the spirit of its founding fathers – into a customer-oriented and innovative manufacturing facility.

It goes without saying that the products and manufacturing methods have changed since 1584. In the beginning, the product range solely comprised mold-made writing paper but later, artist papers and the Hahnemühle invented fine-art inkjet papers for digital print were added to the range. At the same time, several things have remained the same, such as their high-quality standard that guarantees our customers the purest papers for art or technical applications. 

Our paper technologists are proficient in their trade. With high-quality pulp and by using formulations that are partly several centuries old, they produce traditional artist papers, FineArt inkjet papers and specialty papers. 

Hahnemühle is the inventor of Fine Art InkJet Paper with a special ink-receiving layer surface treatment suitable for today's inkjet printers. This is particularly suitable for photography, computer art, and painting and photo fine art prints.
