Annonay, France—Canson Infinity enhanced its portfolio with the introduction of four Arches digital fine art papers from the iconic Arches paper mill. The new papers are the Arches 88 310gsm; Arches BFK Rives Pure White 310gsm; Arches BFK Rives White 310gsm; and Arches Aquarelle Rag 310gsm.

“With the clear intention of producing ‘best in class’ mould-made papers that present the whitest whites without the use of OBAs (optical brightening agents), this exceptional range sets the new standards in the digital fine art print industry; thanks to its unmatched ability to render pure, bright whites on 100% cotton paper,” the company announced.

Arches Paper Mill

Located in the Vosges in France, Arches has produced premium art paper since 1492. What’s more, today it is the only paper mill in France to use a traditional cylinder mould. It produces traditional fine art paper similar to the look and feel of handmade papers. Canson-Infinity-Arches-88-pck

Moreover, the new collection of Arches digital fine arts papers is based on the classical manufacturing technique combined with the latest inkjet coating technology.

Made of 100% cotton, each paper is free of optical brighteners to guarantee better preservation over time. The mill applies a unique proprietary layer that uses the latest coating technology to produce prints with “superb color rendering, including deep blacks and natural whites.” As a result, photographers, artists and printmakers are able to create images with an augmented palette of color tones.

In addition, the collection is specifically for the creation of limited edition works.

“I really appreciate the new Arches papers for the quality of their printing and the value they bring to the textures, tones and colors of the images,” said pioneer street photographer Leo Faria. “I’ve had the pleasure of testing Arches BFK Rives Pure White and Arches 88; I am very satisfied with the results.

“I printed both black-and-white as well as color prints; in both versions the images are incredibly sharp, with the dark areas well defined, highlighting the points I wanted to bring out. I am partial to thick, heavy resistant paper which allows me to showcase my work with different textures.”
