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

• With the aid of violet, the UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a wide palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, saturated black tones and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink has up to 1.5 times higher pigment concentration compared to previous inks, providing deeper black tones. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks were developed for long-term durability. In particular, the weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks were eliminated 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 eliminates 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 durability of up to 200 years for colour prints, and probably over 400 years for black and white prints. [...] The higher 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 for 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 offers an outstanding large colour space.
• The natural white paper with a grammage of 320 gr/qm consists 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 three-dimensionality is attained.
• The paper is certified for digigraphics like our Epson printers
• Wilhelm Imaging Research confirms excellent colour stability for the paper already with the "old" Epson HDR inks

hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• hahnemühle German Etching is a copper-plate printing paper made using the traditional flat-screen printing process.
• The white artist paper made from 100% alpha-cellulose impresses with its velvety soft feel and fine, distinctly pronounced felt texture. The unique surface texture gives motifs something very special and allows them to shine in 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 stability. 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 black ink "Matte Black" to achieve even better depth rendering on the paper

hahnemühle Photo Matte Fibre 200gr/qm

• Photo Matte Fibre is a lightweight natural paper with 200gr/qm made from 100% alpha-cellulose.
