About Canson? Infinity

Looking back on a long history in the field of photography, today Canson? is the last pioneering photographic paper manufacturer that is still in business! In 1865, Canson?filed and acquired an international patent for the improvement of albumen papers, one of the first processes for the production of photographic paper to be developed at the time.?

Today, Canson? retains its spirit of innovation and combines centuries of experience with cutting edge technology in the manufacture of its paper. Canson?favours the use of natural minerals and the purest of materials, without optical brighteners, to provide printing materials that are resistant to ageing. The papers and canvases within the Canson?Infinity range for photography and digital art deliver unparalleled and durable printing results, as well as optimal chromatic rendering with a large colour gamut, a strong D-Max and excellent image sharpness.

The Canson Pedigree

Canson Infinity Rag Photographique FamilyCanson??was founded in 1557 by the Montgolfier family. Its development and destiny are intertwined with the history of France and the history of Art. Rooted in tradition, Canson?respects this heritage and its duty is to always provide consumers with outstanding paper.

Canson? has been producing the world’s finest art papers, used by and inspiring the greatest artists and designers around the world for nearly half a millennium, such as Degas, Ingres, Picasso or Matisse and Warhol. Drawing on its experience in the world of paper and cutting-edge technologies, Canson?launched the Canson?Infinity range in 2008, encompassing a range of high-quality, age-resistant papers specially designed for fine art printing.

In 2016, Canson? became part of the FILA-Group, the global leader in design, production and marketing of creativity tools and traditional fine art products. Within this global organisation, Canson?now has access to more resources for innovation and elite paper mills such as the famous St Cuthberts paper mill, in Somerset, England, which is now producing Canson?Infinity?s mould made paper base for papers?such as Aquarelle Rag, PrintMaKing Rag and Velin Museum Rag. Mould made paper combines the consistent quality of machine made (fourdrinier) papers, but with the individual character of handmade papers. They are of particular interest because of their superior surface stability and beautiful surface texture. These papers feature texture that is slightly reduced for high end inkjet Printmaking purposes.
