Hahnemuhle Agave

Hahnemuhle's Natural Line of digital fine art papers are focused on medias made from unique raw materials. The bamboo, hemp, and agave papers are all made from cellulose fibers from these plants, blended with cotton. These plants are sustainable, grow quickly and don't require any pesticides. This means more cellulose can be produced on the same amount of land compared with other materials, and these plants all require much less water which helps preserve valuable resources and makes them even more environmentally friendly.

Hahnemuhle Agave is a 290 gsm watercolor paper with a rough, yet delicately defined texture. It is made from 70% agave fiber and 30% cotton. The sisal fibers provide a naturally bright white tone without the need for optical brighteners. It's acid and lignin free and meets the most exacting requirements for longevity. Available in widths up to 50".

Approximate longevity of 60-100 years under glass in gallery lighting conditions, and greater than 200 years if displayed under UV filtered glass.
