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

Photo printer: EPSON SureColor 9000V Spectro

• The SureColor SC-P9000V is the printer with the most accurate colour reproduction of 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 printer's highest resolution of 1440 x 2880 DPI

Pigment ink: EPSON HDX colours

• We print with 11 different pigment inks

• Using the violet, UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a large palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich blacks 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 blacks. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks were developed for longevity. Particularly in the yellow range, the weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks have been eliminated. Mark McCormick-Goodhart, Director of Aardenburg Imaging and Archives writes: "The yellow was by far the weakest link [for pigment stability]. The new HDX ink set addresses this weakness [...].
• Henry Wilhelm of 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 lifespans of up to 200 years for colour prints, and probably over 400 years for black and white prints. [...] “The larger Dmax, the larger colour gamut and the reduced metamerism from the new Epson UltraChrome HDX pigments represent a major advance in visual brilliance of both colour and black and white images. [...] The generally better performance of the prints is a significant contribution to photography."

The Proof.de Fineart papers:

hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320gr/qm

• The hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl contains no optical brighteners and represents an exceptionally large colour space.
• The natural white paper with a weight of 320 gr/qm consists of 100% cotton, is free from optical brighteners and reminds of a warm-toned baryta paper. With the large colour space and high colour density, extraordinary colour and black/white nuances are achieved and three-dimensionality is created.
• The paper is certified for digigraphy like our Epson printers
• Wilhelm Imaging Research confirms excellent colour stability of the paper even with the "old" Epson HDR inks

hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• hahnemühle German Etching is an intaglio paper produced 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 structure. The unique surface texture gives motifs something very special and makes them shine in impressive three-dimensionality and depth. The matte premium inkjet coating guarantees outstanding print results with excellent colour and detail reproduction, deep black and best contrasts. 
• German Etching is acid and lignin-free and meets the highest requirements for ageing resistance. 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 of field on the paper

hahnemühle Photo Matte Fibre 200gr/qm

• Photo Matte Fibre is a lightweight natural paper with 200gr/qm made of 100% α-cellulose.
• It is natural white and absolutely matt, with virtually no optical brighteners
