Detailed information on the materials used and their suitability for long-term archival

Photo printer: EPSON SureColor 9000V Spectro

• The SureColor SC-P9000V is the printer with the most accurate colour reproduction in the entire printer market¹
• It features Epson TFP PrecisionCore print heads and pigment inks with orange, green and violet as additional colours
• We print at the highest resolution of the printer at 1440 x 2880 DPI

Pigment ink: EPSON HDX colours

• We print with 11 different pigment inks

• Using violet, the UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a large palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich black tones and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink has up to 1.5 times higher pigment concentration compared to previous inks, which provides deeper black tones. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks were designed for long-lasting durability. In particular, the weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks in the yellow range have been eliminated. Mark McCormick-Goodhart, Director of Aardenburg Imaging and Archives writes: "Yellow has by far been the weakest link [for pigment stability]. The new HDX ink set addresses this weakness [...].
• Henry Wilhelm from Wilhelm Imaging Research writes about the new HDX inks: "The data measured so far shows that - depending on the paper used - the new inks offer durability of up to 200 years for colour prints, and presumably over 400 years for black and white prints. [...] “The larger Dmax, the larger colour space and the reduced metamerism from the new Epson UltraChrome HDX pigments represent a major advance in visual brilliance for both colour and black and white images. [...] The generally better performance of the prints is a significant contribution to photography."

The Proof.de Fine art papers:

Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320gr/qm

• Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl contains no optical brighteners and represents an outstandingly large colour space.
• The natural white paper with a weight of 320 gr/qm is made of 100% cotton, is free of optical brighteners and is reminiscent of a warm-toned baryta paper. With the large colour space and high colour density, extraordinary colour and black/white nuances are achieved and a three-dimensionality is created.
• The paper is, like our Epson printer, certified for digigraphie
• Wilhelm Imaging Research certifies the paper with the "old" Epson HDR inks with excellent colour stability

Hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• Hahnemühle German Etching is a copper print paper made in the traditional round-screen process.
• The white artist paper made of 100% α-cellulose impresses with its velvety soft feel and fine, distinctly pronounced felt texture. The unique surface texture gives motifs something very special and lets them shine in an impressive three-dimensionality and depth. The matt premium inkjet coating guarantees outstanding print results with excellent colour and detail reproduction, deep black and best contrasts. 
• German Etching is acid-free and lignin-free and meets the highest requirements for ageing stability. The high-volume Fine Art inkjet paper is one of the most popular media for fine art and art reproductions due to its characteristic feel and surface texture.
• We print on German Etching with our black ink "Matte Black" to achieve even better depth drawing on the paper

Hahnemühle Photo Matte Fibre 200gr/qm

• Photo Matt Fibre is a light natural paper with 200gr/qm made of 100% α-cellulose.
• It is natural white and absolutely matt, with virtually no optical brighteners
• It is perfect for matt photo and poster prints with the highest colour space, even slightly larger than our matt proof papers
• The smooth, very lightly textured paper has a pleasantly warm-toned white value. It convinces with very good print quality.

SIHL Lisa Canvas Plus matte 390gr/qm

• ​Lisa Canvas Plus Matt AQ is a natural artist canvas made of 100% cotton with distinctive texture for art and fine art applications and can be perfectly stretched onto stretcher bars.
• The 2:1 weave offers a distinctive structure that is ideal for art reproductions and fine art prints.
• The matt coating prevents annoying reflections and enables excellent colour reproduction.
• The coated surface shows no white break and is splash-water resistant.
• The canvas is FSC® certified.

Epson Premium Photo Glossy 250gr/qm
