[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Argent Comics<\/a>, DC Comics and Hahnem\u00fchle got together for an extraordinary collaboration with \u2018The Killing Joke\u2019, which takes comic art and fine art to a new level. It is particularly noteworthy that this work is a classic DC Comics title. A milestone in comic history, it is now being reinterpreted as an exclusive collector’s item. For this project, Hahnem\u00fchle is providing two of its papers for fine art inkjet printing and artistic printing techniques, so that each page can be read and experienced as a handcrafted work of art. This collaboration impressively demonstrates how high-quality materials and iconic comic art merge to create limited editions of the highest standard.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The FineArt Papers<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]At the centre of this project are Hahnem\u00fchle’s FineArt papers, specially selected for this project: Photo Rag\u00ae Metallic for the Avant-Garde Edition and genuine handmade copperplate paper for the Noir Edition.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The Photo Rag\u00ae Metallic<\/a> paper used for the Avant Garde Edition is an exquisite FineArt Inkjet paper that captivates with its soft feel and characteristic metallic surface. This special texture gives colours and contrasts a subtle luminosity that makes every illustration in DC comic art appear vivid and deeply nuanced. The gicl\u00e9e printing technique allows the paper to unfold its full potential, as the pigment inks precisely reproduce even the finest gradations and ensure that colour depth and richness of detail are fully preserved. The soft metallic sheen creates a characteristic depth that gives the pages an almost three-dimensional effect. The visual clarity and sophisticated shimmer create a high-quality presentation that impressively reflects the artistic standards of the Avant Garde Edition.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]
