Detailed information on the materials used and their suitability for durability

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 violet, the 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 long-term durability. In particular, weaknesses of earlier HDR inks in the yellow range have been eliminated. 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 eliminates 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 space and the reduced metamerism from 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 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 is made of 100% cotton, is free of 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 created.
• The paper is certified for digital printing like our Epson printers
• Wilhelm Imaging Research certifies the paper with the "old" Epson HDR inks for excellent colour stability

hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• hahnemühle German Etching is an intaglio paper manufactured using the traditional round screen process.
• The white art paper made of 100% α-cellulose impresses with its velvet-soft feel and fine, distinctly embossed 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 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 "Matte Black" ink to achieve even better depth drawing 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.
