Innova’s FibPrint® Ultra Smooth Gloss – one of our most popular FibaPrint® papers is to be used for the printing of 25 images to be auctioned for charity in Sweden. The images will be printed by Innova’s Swedish country partner, Exponera. The following is a translation of the website and promotional material for the project: “In conjunction with Masesgården, photographers Annika Persson and Sofia Zimmer of  “Precious People photoart” have started a project to build a pre-school in Jimba, Kenya. Famous Swedes – i.e. Henke Larsson, Peter Forsberg, Helene Sjöholm, Sara Sommerfeld and many more – have agreed to donate a portrait for the auction. A total of 25 portraits will be shot by Precious People and printed in black & white by Exponera Fotogalleri on INNOVA FibaPrint® Ultrasmooth gloss 285gsm. Throughout October the portraits will be exhibited at “Bern Salonger” in Stockholm and after that the portraits will be at auction at “Underbara Barn” in Älvsjö. A sum of just 10,000 SEK (= approx. 1000 EURO) will provide 10 Kenyan children the opportunity to go to school. All the money raised during the project and auction will go to the build of the school.
