The awards, sponsored by Professional Photographer magazine, recognize the most innovative and impactful products introduced in 2008 for photography and fine art. The awards were announced at Imaging USA, which was held in Phoenix, Jan. 11-13. Sunset Fine Art Satin SUV by Hahnemuhle and LexJet Prime Gloss SUV join Hot One Award winners from previous years, which include Sunset Fibre Elite 285g, Sunset Select Gloss Canvas, Sunset Photo eSatin 300g, and Sunset Fibre Gloss 295g.

Sunset Fine Art Satin SUV by Hahnemuhle, designed and developed in partnership with Hahnemuhle, the world's oldest and most distinguished paper company, brought LexJet customers running solvent and UV-curable printers their first viable opportunity to enter the high-end décor and fine-art market.

The image clarity produced on Sunset Fine Art Satin SUV by Hahnemuhle rises far above any other material currently available in the market for solvent and UV-curable printers. It is similar in texture to traditional fibre papers, giving it a classic look and feel. It has no optical brighteners so it will not yellow or cause color shift over time.

LexJet Prime Gloss SUV is a 10-mil glossy photo paper that opens up a range of profitable applications in emerging and existing markets for photo-quality reproductions. Additionally, LexJet Prime Gloss SUV can be used in a range of applications, from trade show graphics to point-of-purchase signage and posters. It’s also an ideal photo paper for décor applications, such as corporate lobbies, hotel art, and retail environments. LexJet also offers Prime Satin SUV for customers seeking a luster sheen for their projects.

“With new high-quality solvent printers entering the market in the past year, such as Epson’s GS6000, we wanted to ensure that our customers were not only able to keep up with the technology, but to maximize it as much as possible for additional avenues of profit,” says Alex Ried, LexJet’s product manager. “In an increasingly competitive environment, it is crucial that we continue to find new ways to help our customers differentiate themselves and their work.”

LexJet Prime Gloss SUV and Sunset Fine Art Satin SUV by Hahnemuhle are an integral part of LexJet's Décor line, which has been developed to provide LexJet customers with a range of choices – including canvas, wallcoverings, privacy décor window films, and fabrics – for a variety of décor markets. As with all LexJet products, both products come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. For more information, contact a LexJet account specialist at 800-453-9538.
