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 on 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

• With the help of violet, 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 developed for long durability. 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: "Yellow has by far been 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 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 step forward in visual brilliance for both colour and black and white images. [...] The generally improved performance of the prints is a significant contribution to photography."

The Proof.de fine art papers:

hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320gr/qm

• The hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl contains no optical brighteners and provides 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 warm-toned barite 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 certified for digraphics like our Epson printer
• 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 produced using 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 subjects something 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 contrast. 
• 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 "Matte Black" ink to achieve even better depth rendering on the paper

hahnemühle Photo Matte Fibre 200gr/qm

• Photo Matte Fibre is a light natural paper with 200gr/qm made of 100 % α-cellulose.
