Innova Art used recently concluded FESPA 2026 Barcelona in Spain to showcase its manufacturing expertise and launch two new UV fine art papers for embellishment applications. Particular points of interest included the two new products launched at the show—Innova UV Fine Art Smooth Cotton 330gsm (IFA-330) and Innova UV Fine Art Textured Cotton 330gsm (IFA-333). These two surfaces have been specifically developed for use by UV printmakers producing artistic embellishments such as spot gloss or layered mock impasto textures. With a specialist coating, these papers prevent the vacuum on UV roll to roll flatbed printers from pulling the ink through the structure of the paper. This ensures the ink remains on the surface, producing a high end fine art finish.
Alongside the visitors excited to see new products were the fans of the core range from Innova Art. Print service providers stopped by to familiarise themselves with the wide selection of surfaces offered in the Innova Editions, Innova Fine Art and Innova Photo Art ranges. All archival quality, all compatible with pigment and dye inkjet printers, each range tailored to meet various creative criteria. Diversification was a strong theme for visitors interested in the Innova Supernova Sublimation range of products. The flexible nature of these surfaces means that they can be sublimated using flatbed or calendar heat presses, making them a great option for textile producers looking to expand into other imaged products.
