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 highest resolution of the printer at 1440 x 2880 DPI

Pigment ink: EPSON HDX Colours

• We print with 11 different pigment inks

• Using the violet, the UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a wide palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich blacks and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink has a pigment concentration up to 1.5 times higher compared to previous inks, which provides deeper black tones. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks have been developed for long durability. Weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks have been eliminated, especially in the yellow range. Mark McCormick-Goodhart, Director of Aardenburg Imaging and Archives writes: "Yellow has been by far the weakest link [for pigment stability]. The new HDX ink set remedies 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 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 space and the reduced metamerism through 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 outstandingly large colour space.
• The natural white paper with a weight of 320 gr/qm is made of 100% cotton, is free from 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 3-dimensionality is reached.
• The paper is certified for digigraphic printing like our Epson printer
• Wilhelm Imaging Research confirms excellent colour stability for the paper even with the "old" Epson HDR inks

hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• hahnemühle German Etching is a copper printing paper made in the traditional round sieve process.
• The white artist paper made from 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 lets them shine in 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 and lignin-free and meets the highest requirements for ageing resistance. The high-volume FineArt inkjet paper is one of the most popular media for FineArt 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.
