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 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 range of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich blacks and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink features up to 1.5 times higher pigment concentration compared to previous inks, which results in deeper blacks. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks were developed for long-lasting durability. In particular 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 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 longevity 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 fine art papers:

hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320gsm

• The hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl contains no optical brighteners and represents an outstanding large colour gamut.
• The natural white paper with a grammage of 320 gsm is made from 100% cotton, is free of optical brighteners and recalls a warm-toned baryta paper. With the large colour gamut and high colour density, extraordinary colour and black/white nuances are achieved and a 3-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 excellent colour stability

hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm

• hahnemühle German Etching is a copper print paper made using the traditional round screen printing process.
• The white artist paper made from 100% alpha-cellulose impresses with its velvety-soft tactile quality and fine, clearly defined felt texture. 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 blacks 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 tactile quality and surface texture.
• We print on German Etching with our black ink "Matte Black" to achieve even better depth rendering on the paper

hahnemühle Photo Matte Fibre 200gsm

• Photo Matte Fibre is a light natural paper with 200gsm made from 100% alpha-cellulose.
