On the retail counter, run in partnership with the dedicated online retailer FineArtFoto.co.uk, the Olmec range of resin coated inkjet photo papers was as popular as ever. Olmec Archival Matte 230gsm and Olmec Photo Lightweight 190gsm in Gloss and Lustre finishes all sold out at the show. The new Innova Editions® range, which brings together a premium selection of cotton-based art and FibaPrint® photo papers, also proved popular. With some visitors reporting it is now their go-to range of archival inkjet fine art and photo papers from Innova.

“In the demo area, the offer of a ‘free print from your memory stick’ was a massive hit. 300 or so photographers took the opportunity to print out their images on our Olmec Photo Satin Heavyweight 260gsm, Olmec Photo Metallic Gloss 260gsm or Fabriano Printmaking Rag 310gsm inkjet papers – all proved equally popular. We were very pleased to see some visitors buying a pack of the same paper to print on at home – job done!” said MD, Mike Gonzalez.

“A big show is always a good place to learn from your customers,” continued MD, Mike Gonzalez. “This year we saw quite a few photographers who had bought the resin coated Olmec range from our retailer, Fine Art Foto, before. They were now looking to take the next step by printing on the FibaPrint® digital darkroom papers found in the Innova Editions® and Photo Art ranges. It is great to see that photographers are continually looking to improve the quality of their prints by using the best quality archival media.”

Adding value to finished prints was also a theme on the Innova Art stand at The Photography Show 2018. There was a lot of interest in the simple to use GOframe canvas stretching system. A flat canvas print can be transformed into a value added, high quality, ready to hang, 3D canvas wrap, in minutes. Another aspect that really appealed to visitors is its flexibility: the 1500 bar is available in bar lengths short enough to create small stretched canvases from A4 or A3 sheets and there is no need for a professional level print set up to be able to use the system.

Elevating the presentation of loose prints was a common quest for visitors to the NEC this March. Luckily the answer was available on the Innova Art stand: Pinchbook Photo Books. A range of effortlessly elegant presentation covers for portfolio books and albums. No tools, glue or staples are needed and the contents can be easily replaced to suit any requirement from business presentations to presenting printed proofs to clients.

In photography, details count: the eye behind the camera, the time, the place, the instant an image is captured, while in many ways digital photography has transformed the way in which photography happens, details continue to make the difference. That’s what The Photography Show 2018 is all about.

As a truly 21^st Century digital media specialist – founded in 2003 – Innova Art delights in detail. The precise distinctions between this substrate or that, the fine balancing act of contrast, texture and warmth, all the ways in which technical innovation can make a complex task the easiest of jobs. The smallest adjustments can have the greatest impact.

Which is why we’ll be welcoming visitors to our newly expanded demo and retail area on the Innova Art stand A1/B1 at the Photography Show, NEC, Birmingham, 17-20 March 2018.

Returning to The Photography Show 2018, Innova Art will be showcasing their full product range on stand A1/B1. There’s an Innova Art substrate to suit every taste – from high-end, fully archival cotton-based media, to the specially formulated digital canvases that have had reviewers describing them as the “king” of their type. There’s the famed Fibaprint® digital darkroom papers found in both the Photo Art and Innova Editions® ranges: for photographers who want to combine the traditional look and feel of darkroom prints with the ease of digital printing, and image display products that turn artwork into eye-catching wall or desktop displays.

Display options include the Pinchbook Photo Books range of effortlessly elegant presentation books and albums, GOframe – the failsafe canvas stretching system that makes canvases the simplest of jobs, and the JetMaster® range – the award-winning print alternative to conventional wrapped canvas prints and elegant frame free displays.

“Behind every great print there’s a great substrate, but everything depends on what the photographer is looking for, whether it’s a natural or high-impact tone, a flawless smooth surface or that little bit of texture and body,” says MD Mike Gonzalez. “The point of our expanded demo area is to give visitors the opportunity to find out for themselves and perhaps to try a paper or canvas that’s new to them. Isn’t experimentation always the best way forward in art?”

”As in previous years, our stand partner is the specialist online retailer Fine Art Foto, so visitors can get advice and easily make a purchase while they’re on the stand – even better if it’s at an exclusive Photography Show discount…“

And it was.
We’d put the word out about Innova Art’s multi-award-winning range of digital media, ingenious photo wraps, panels and other display and presentation solutions (that’s our job). But for visitors, the opportunity to see these products being put through their paces was simply too good to miss.
It meant thousands of people made a beeline for the Innova Art/Fine Art Foto stand A1/B1 throughout the four-day show.
“The Photography Show was excellent and we certainly felt we saw more visitors than last year,” said Mike Gonzalez, Managing Director of Innova Art.
“We drew big crowds for the live demonstrations of our GOframe canvas stretching system, and for Northlight’s Keith Cooper’s expert presentations about large-format printing. The JetMaster® Photo Wraps and JetMaster® Photo Panels, which offer such quick, easy and flexible décor solutions, proved especially popular, and the Fine Art Foto retail counter was also buzzing. We had terrific sales right across the Olmec range of media, as well as of the Fabriano Printmaking Rag 310gsm (IFA 107) and the Exhibition Photo Baryta 310gsm (IFA 69). The new Innova Art Editions range of six specially selected media for fine art photographers and printers makes such a difference to the image that’s produced.”
“And Pinchbooks, a brilliantly cost-effective and elegant way to store and present photographic prints, were once again a massive hit with photographers of all levels, from students to pros.”
“How we do it is not really a secret at all. We keep on meeting our customers at events like The Photography Show, to listen carefully to what it is they want and to spread the word about how we can help them maximize their market potential.”
Word got round.

It’s no secret that Innova Art wins plaudits and prizes for its range of digital photo media and display solutions. The Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) judges knew a great digital baryta paper – FibaPrint® – when they saw it. The UK’s Fine Art Trade Guild couldn’t help but award JetMaster® most innovative product when it appeared.

So we’re being upfront about all the exciting additions to the award-winning Innova Art range we’ll be showing on stand A1/B1, at The Photography Show, NEC, Birmingham, 18-21 March 2017.
After all, if we don’t tell you, someone else will.

We’ll be showing visitors the new Editions range of fine art and photo media and offer the latest on the Pinchbook, GOframe and JetMaster® display solutions. This year, our stand will feature live demonstrations for getting the very best out of digital photo technology and media, led by international authority Keith Cooper of Northlight Images, who’ll be giving visitors the lowdown on top quality large-format printing.

And with stand partner and specialist inkjet online retailer Fine Art Foto, we’ll be presenting exclusive deals and promotional offers on a fantastic array of products.

Watch out for:

The new refreshed Innova Editions range of six specially selected media for fine art photographers and printers;

The Editions range comprises four museum-quality cotton rag papers, including two Fabriano papers, a cotton-based photo paper and a Baryta paper.

A bigger stand than ever before saw Innova Art reseller, Fine Art Foto, selling out of some of the most popular product lines. The stand next to the super stage had a constant stream of visitors keen to stock up on their digital fine art supplies.

“Metallic papers were popular this year, the onsite stock of Olmec Photo Metallic Lustre 260gsm sold out before the end of the show,” Wayne Malodobry of Fine Art Foto reported. Alongside the Olmec Metallic papers, the Photo Satin papers also proved popular and Pinchbook Photo Books were flying off the shelf. These covers offer a simple way to bind multiple prints. Pinchbook Photo Books can be used with any paper type – resin coated photo papers or matte and gloss digital fine art papers. Prints can be easily inserted by pulling back the covers to open the patented spring clamp and then secured in place by returning the covers to their original position. “The flexibility of being able to change the content in seconds really appealed to visitors,” commented Malodobry.

Value added convenience was a theme for the Innova art stand at The Photography Show this year. The demonstration zone had a regular crowd of visitors keen to learn how to add value to their canvas prints using the GOframe canvas stretching system. The system, which only requires a knife, caught the eye of many enthusiastic photographers looking to make their own stretched canvases at home. “Many photographers said they currently outsource canvas stretching, or had resisted printing on canvas because they felt they lacked the necessary skills to stretch it,” says Jon Courtiour, Business Director for Décor, display and Retail Solutions. “The GOframe system proves you don’t need extensive training or expensive equipment to create professional stretched canvases,” continued Courtiour.

Using precut bars, photographers can attach prints by removing the liner from the pre applied adhesive. The patented GOframe system means that prints can be easily aligned. Once the bars are secure, simply trim off the excess canvas with a knife and secure the corners with u-shaped pins, inserting corner tabs for a drum-tight canvas finish. Take a look at the YouTube video to see for yourself.

Alongside the GOframe system, Innova Art hosted demonstrations of their JetMaster Photo Panel. These unique, lightweight, foam core panels range in size from 5×7” up to 24×30”. Visitors to The Photography Show 2016 were impressed by the ease with which a resin coated inkjet print can be turned into a frame free piece of wall art. Available with a black or white edge, JetMaster Photo Panels can be completed in under a minuet: simply remove the release liner and apply your print, trim off the excess media then insert the desk stand or hang on the wall using the pre drilled holes on the back.

YouTac® Textile made its debut at The Photography Show 2016. “It was great to be able to demonstrate this product to the photography market. You could really see it ignite a creative spark in everyone who saw it,” commented Jon Courtiour.

To create an image on YouTac Textile, all you need to do is print, the woven textile surface has adhesive on the back which is protected by a release liner. Remove the release liner and apply the print to a non-porous surface. Intelligent YouTac adhesive means it can be removed and repositioned countless times. As the printed surface is fabric, the prints are flexible enough to be installed around corners or curves without cracking and spoiling your image.

“Some of the suggested applications for this product were great; everything from customised stickers to bespoke photography backdrops,” Courtiour continued “I can’t wait to see what people do with it.”

As the printed surface is fabric, the prints are flexible enough to be installed around corners or curves without cracking and spoiling your image.

“Some of the suggested applications for this product were great; everything from customised stickers to bespoke photography backdrops,” Courtiour continued “I can’t wait to see what people do with it.”
