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 in the highest resolution of the printer at 1440 x 2880 DPI

Pigment ink: EPSON HDX colours

• We print with 11 different pigment inks

• With the aid of violet, the UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a wide range 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 long-lasting durability. The 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 was by far the weakest link [for pigment stability]. The new HDX ink set fixes 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 permanence 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 through the new Epson UltraChrome HDX pigments represent a major advance in terms of 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 a superb colour gamut.
• 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 gamut and high colour density, extraordinary colour and black/white nuances are achieved and three-dimensionality is achieved.
• The paper is, like our Epson printers, certified for digigraphics
• Wilhelm Imaging Research certifies the paper already with the "old" Epson HDR inks with excellent colour stability

hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• hahnemühle German Etching is a copper printing paper manufactured in the traditional round screen process.
• The white artist paper made of 100% α-cellulose captivates with its velvety soft feel and fine, clearly defined 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 an outstanding print result with excellent colour and detail reproduction, deep black and best contrasts. 
• German Etching is acid- and lignin-free and meets the highest requirements for aging 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
