Made from 90% bamboo fibres and 10% cotton, this natural warm-toned and OBA free genuine art paper offers maximum aging resistance, an extremely large colour gamut and a high colour density. Its premium Inkjet coating also offers a very high level of water resistance. Bamboo 290, with its fine, soft surface feel, lends itself particularly well to warm-toned colour and monochrome prints of fine art photography and fine art reproduction.

The traditional Hahnemühle paper mill has developed the worldwide first Fine Art inkjet paper made from bamboo fibers. The natural white paper with a warm tone combines spiritual photography with environmental considerations. “Bamboo 290” consists of fibers from highly renewable bamboo grass… a premium, soft Fine Art paper from ultra-pure bamboo fibers and pure spring water. This paper opens up a whole new artistic and spiritual dimension in Fine Art printing.

I’m particularly impressed with the deep rich blacks this paper yields and I feel it is a great choice for hand-drawn fine art reproductions!

Mahalo and Aloha!

Why “Vulcania”? When we first began to experiment with having a virtual business in Second Life, our island region was already named “Vulcania”. It seemed appropriate as the island was tropical and included a volcano. We also felt connected to this land because of our personal interest in Hawaiian mythology, particularly the volcano goddess of creation, Pele. As we created and developed our virtual art gallery and studio we began to notice synchronicities happening with our real life business. Hence, our real life business was also being transformed.

Conducting business using two different names has been confusing for us as well as our customers. Realigning our business to include virtual endeavors will help to encompass the many different forms artists choose to display and market their artwork.

During the next couple of weeks you’ll notice a modified website and web address (domain name) as well as a new email address. We’ll forward the current web address to the new web address but you’ll eventually want to update any of your bookmarks to this site after the change has occurred. We’ll also post our new email address and send out an email notification to everyone.

Both Dan and I are very excited about the transition and we’re grateful to all those who have helped bring about Vulcania Graphics & Fine Art.

Mahalo!
