Hahnemühle announced a new fine art paper called Bamboo 290. We are really excited about this paper! Here’s a quote from the press release…

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.

With new web technologies emerging, it can be frustrating browsing the web with outdated software - web pages looked messed up, videos don’t play, etc. If you’re using an older web browser it may be time to update. Also worth noting is that you’re not stuck with just using one browser, many people use different browsers depending upon what they need to do online. A web browser review article from YourHTMLsource.com can be found here. A newer, more detailed article “The Browser Bunch” can be found on MacWorld.com.
