Returning to the NEC for The Photography Show 2022 was great experience for the Innova Art team. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet face to face with photography enthusiasts and get an intimate understanding of the qualities users are seeking in their inkjet media. Despite the shortened timescale due to the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, visitors still turned out in their droves to benefit from special show offers and see the latest developments. Printmakers familiar with the range of inkjet surfaces offered by Innova Art returned to pick up their old favourites. They also took the opportunity to try out the latest product in the Photo Art range: Innova Resin Coated Photo Premium Matte 260gsm (IFA-178). For visitors new to the world of inkjet printmaking, a visit to the Innova Art stand at The Photography Show 2022 was an opportunity to experience the wide range of surfaces available. Sample prints on the stand gave an insight into how the choice of surface can affect the interpretation of a printed image. Trial packs of each of the Innova media ranges gave these visitors the opportunity to take home one of each paper and see how their own images look on every type of surface available from Innova Art. The team at online retailer Fine Art Foto sold a lot of paper during the three days with Innova Art at the NEC. Best sellers included the Photo Lustre Heavyweight 260gsm (OLM-059) from the ever popular Olmec™ range of inkjet photo papers. Also popular were the archival quality fine art photo papers Innova Smooth Cotton High White 100% Cotton 315gsm (IFA-014) and Innova Editions® Exhibition Cotton Gloss 335gsm (IFA-045).

Touring the halls at FESPA 2022 was a great experience for the Innova Art team earlier this month. After ten consecutive years of taking a space at FESPA global events, FESPA 2022 bucked the trend for Innova Art. Instead of building a branded space, a few members of the Innova team visited to take a look around the halls. Not only did they get to see how Innova products were displayed on partner stands, they also took some inspiration from the wider industry. One of the big benefits was being able to network with a wider variety of visitors and exhibitors, rather than feeling restricted to people venturing into a branded booth space. “It was a novelty for us to be able to fully experience the visitor perspective of FESPA” says Wayne Connelly, Owner of Innova Art. “We were able to make time with our key customers to really connect as well as take advantage of serendipitous connections with other visitors whilst walking the halls.” There were a few key customers that the Innova team were keen to connect with at FESPA 2022. Each showing aspects of the Innova product range. Canon had a full display of the two fine art swatch books recently completed in partnership to celebrate their imageROGRAPF Pro 2100, 4100 and 6100 and imagePROGRAF GP 200, 300, 2000 and 4000 fluorescent printers. Whilst Epson were showcasing the Innova Supernova Sublimation range as well as showing how Innova Eco-Solvent, Latex and UV compatible fine art medias perform on their new SureColor SC-R5000 resin based printer. Monti Antonio showed the versatility of the Innova Supernova range by sublimating onto Innova Supernova Chrome live on their stand. The team explored all areas of the [...]

After almost 18 months without meeting their customers in-person, the Innova Art team has had an exciting time with two events in a five week period. The Photography Show (18-21 September, 2021), NEC, UK The journey back to in-person events for Innova Art began at The Photography Show 2021. Heading back to the NEC for the first event in a year and a half, the team set up the stand and awaited visitors looking for inkjet media. The Photography Show did not disappoint, with many visitors attending the event expressing how much it had been missed in 2020. Special deals on the full Innova Art product line were available courtesy of Fine Art Foto, an online retailer of inkjet printing products. Many visitors took advantage of the opportunity to stock up on supplies of media for the coming year. The popularity of traditional photo surfaces such as Olmec™ Photo Gloss Heavyweight 260gsm has not wained, although fine art surfaces such as Innova Soft White Cotton 280gsm also proved popular at The Photography Show 2021. Meeting photographers face to face after such a long time was a great experience for the Innova Art team. Nevelle Bower, CEO of Innova Art, summed up the event “It was fantastic to be back at the NEC. The team at Future did a great job with creating the show amidst all the ongoing challenges of last year. For me the best thing was seeing the joy photographers experienced by touching and feeling all the different papers available. Just one of the simple pleasures that we have all missed.” FESPA Global Print Expo (12-15 October, 2021), Amsterdam RAI, The Netherlands Hot off the heels of the first UK event, Innova Art [...]

…Out of this World Colour Quality Born out of an electrifying moment between our product development team, the Innova Supernova Sublimation range was sparked by a simple question. Why are there no dye-sublimation surfaces specifically for fine art and photographic prints? Taking all their years experience in creating inkjet fine art print surfaces, our team set out to change this. The result was Innova Supernova Sublimation: three products specifically for dye-sublimation printmakers looking to create fine art and photographic prints. Inspired by the epic transformations which take place in deep space, Innova Supernova is as powerful and luminous as any stellar explosion.  Utilising Innova Supernova Transfer Paper you can create cibachrome style photographic sublimations onto Innova Supernova Chrome. Or focus on the darkroom feel with baryta style fine art prints sublimated onto Innova Supernova Baryta. Each sublimation receptive substrate encapsulates the pigments within the surface: creating prints capable of representing millions of colours at a precise point in time, much like images of supernovas in deep space.  Whichever Innova Supernova Sublimation surface you choose, your images will go out into the world with a bang. Finished displays will create a pull so strong that fans won’t want to leave your work on the gallery walls. And, fortunately for printmakers and art collectors everywhere, there is no evidence of Innova Supernova Sublimation products creating a black hole.  Innova Supernova Sublimation media will be shown for the first time on stand G60 in hall 1 at FESPA 2021 in Amsterdam. Products will be available to order in Q4 of 2021 and Q1 of 2022.
